4 - TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
The apparatus must be lifted with a winch fitted with a hook (A) and handled with a transpallet or forklift
truck of suitable capacity.
The area of movement must be free from objects or people not involved in the transport operation.
If the equipment is handled using a winch, it is necessary to use some spreader bars (C) between the
lifting ropes, to prevent the unit from being damaged and ensure no excessive pressure is applied to the
packaging or machine itself.
Lifting with a winch fitted with a hook
Use hooks of capacity and material suitable to the weight to be lifted. Ensure the safety lock (D) is in the
correct position while lifting.
Do NOT move the equipment if the field of vision is
poor or if there other other obstacles along the way (i.e.
electrical cables, lintels, etc.). The range of action of the
lifting equipment must be kept free from people when
the loads are lifted.
Shifting must always be vertical. Use steel hooks, chains
or cables in perfect condition, of a suitable material and
capacity and without any joints or extensions (E). Carry
out periodic checks to guarantee efficiency.
To anchor the unit, pass the ropes or chains through
the pallet holes (B), paying attention it is kept perfectly
level.
Check the flatness of the ground where the lifting
equipment is standing, making sure it is stable and not
prone to subsidence.
Do not move the lifting equipment during the
operation.
Before starting lifting, check correct anchoring to the
mentioned points and the centre of gravity, then slowly
lift the packaged equipment to the minimum height
required and move it carefully to avoid dangerous vibrations.
Take care of the control panel that must undergo no impacts or be exposed to the weather (rain,
humidity): any damage may affect its operation.
Avoid sudden stops of the lifting or descending movement, in order to avoid dangerous oscillations.
