4.2 Packaging, transport and handling
Before handling the jib crane and its accessories you should know that:
4.2.1 Standard packaging
•
The metalwork parts of the jib crane (column and arm) are generally supplied with packaging, hooking
points are present on the columns to make it easier to move them during installation operations (fig.
13).
•
To make handling and assembly operations easier for the lifting unit, if it is part of the supply, it can be
delivered in a cardboard box (with or without pallet) or, where included, in a crate or wooden cage or
even simply on a pallet.
•
When the lifting unit is delivered on a pallet, it is generally covered with a protection against dust
composed of a polyethylene film.
•
Any other accessories which are part of the supply (e.g.: electrical system components) can be
delivered inside or in cardboard boxes that, based on the weight to move, can be with or without a
pallet.
•
The standard packaging is not waterproof against rain and is designed for destinations via land and not
via sea, for covered and non-damp environments. Therefore, special packaging or protections are
excluded from the supply unless they are contained in the contract.
•
If necessary, the packaging can include signs and pictograms that provide important information
regarding handling and transport (weight, lifting points, storage information, etc.) - (fig. 14).
•
Appropriately preserved parcels can be stored for a period of around two years in covered
environments where the temperature ranges from -20°C to +60°C with relative humidity of 80%.
Specific packaging needs to be prepared for different environmental conditions.
