4. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
1. Transport
If you want to transport the sideshifter on a pallet, make sure that the attachment is securely attached
so it can’t fall off.
Safely transport the sideshifter by following the next steps:
1. Check the type plate to know the weight of the sideshifter. Select the appropriate material
according to the weight (ropes, cables, hooks, etc.)
2. Lift the sideshifter with a crane attached to the hook. Only use a crane with sufficient capacity and
secure the sideshifter to the crane, so it can be lifted safely.
3. Place the sideshifter onto a pallet with sufficient capacity.
4. Secure the sideshifter onto a transport pallet with retaining bands.
5. Wrap the attachment with film to protect weather influences and corrosion during transport.
• Adjust your driving speed while driving over rough terrains and on slopes.
• Only transport the sideshifter in its lowest position.
• Before transporting the sideshifter, carefully read the instructions in the manual of the lifting
device.
• If you drive on a public road, make sure to use safety indications on the equipment such as
safety lights, reflectors, ‘slow-moving vehicle’ signs etc. to avoid any dangerous situations.
• Make sure that all of the safety rules in force in the country of its use are applied.
