4.2.1 Standard packing
•฀฀The฀steel฀structures฀of฀the฀jib฀crane฀(column฀or฀bracket฀or฀arm)฀are,฀generally,฀supplied฀without฀packing;฀on฀the฀
columns and brackets there are hooking points to make moving easier during the operations of installation
(fig.12).
•฀฀To฀facilitate฀the฀handling฀and฀assembling฀operations฀of฀the฀lifting฀unit,฀if฀this฀is฀part฀of฀the฀supply,฀the฀unit฀can฀
be delivered in a cardboard box (fitted with or without a pallet) or, when necessary in a chest or wooden cage
or also simply attached to a pallet.
•฀฀When฀the฀lifting฀unit฀is฀delivered฀on฀a฀pallet,฀this฀is฀usually฀covered฀by฀a฀polyethylene฀film฀to฀protect฀it฀from฀
dust.
•฀฀Related฀accessories,฀being฀part฀of฀the฀supply฀(e.g.฀components฀of฀the฀electric฀system),฀can฀be฀delivered฀inside฀
cardboard boxes which, in relation to the mass to be handled, can be fitted with or without a pallet.
•฀฀The฀standard฀packing฀is฀not฀rainproof฀and฀is฀intended฀for฀overland฀destinations,฀not฀overseas,฀and฀for฀covered฀
and not damp areas. Therefore packing and special protection are not included in the supply, unless these have
been specified in the contract.
•฀฀The฀packing,฀when฀necessary,฀can฀show฀signs฀and฀pictograms฀which฀give฀important฀information฀regarding฀the฀
handling and transport (mass, handling points, storage information, etc.) (fig.13).
•฀฀The฀items,฀stored฀in฀the฀right฀way,฀can฀be฀kept฀in฀a฀warehouse฀for฀a฀period฀of฀two฀years฀in฀covered฀areas฀in฀
which฀the฀temperature฀is฀between฀–20°C฀and฀+60°C฀with฀relative฀humidity฀of฀80%.฀For฀different฀environmental฀
conditions it is necessary to provide special packing.
4.2.2 Transportation
•฀Transportation฀should฀be฀carried฀out฀by฀qualified฀haulage฀contractors฀able฀to฀ensure฀the฀correct฀handling฀of฀the฀
transported material.
•฀During฀transportation,฀avoid฀putting฀weights฀on฀top฀of฀the฀jib฀crane฀(mainly฀on฀arm฀tension฀bars฀or฀on฀channeled฀
section bars) or on other packed items, because they could cause them damage.
•฀During฀the฀transportation฀phases฀we฀recommend฀that฀the฀pallet,฀or฀chests฀/฀cages฀are฀not฀tilted฀or฀overturned฀to฀
avoid dangerous variations in their centre of gravity and, therefore, to ensure the best stability.
Before฀handling฀the฀jib฀crane฀and฀accessories฀it฀is฀useful฀to฀know฀that:
DONATI฀SOLLEVAMENTI฀S.r.l.฀takes฀no฀responsibility฀in฀the฀case฀of฀transportation฀by฀the฀client฀or฀
haulage฀contractors฀chosen฀by฀the฀client.
