A professional instructor is needed in the whole hoisting process.
All the slings used must have the load-bearing capacity of at least 10t.

In the whole hoisting process, please observe following rules:
Hoist the container in a vertical manner. Do not drag or drop the container on any surface.
When the container has been hoisted for about 300mm from the ground, stop to check if all
the connections are still firm. After confirmation, continue hoisting the container.
When transported to the final location, the container should be put down slowly and steadily.
The final location should be firm, level, and well-drained. The container is supported by four
bottom fittings on the ground.
The container should be hoisted by four top corner fittings as shown in the following figure.
