Pre-conditioning cargo and container
WARNING!
Risk of crush injury! The container weighs approximately 1100-4625 kg (unloaded-loaded). Make sure that
the pallet jack is wide enough to keep the container stable.
NOTE!
Since the center of gravity is located on the rear side of the container, it is recommended to lift the container
from that side.
Use an electric pallet jack or electric walkie rider with the following properties:
• Minimum rated lifting capacity: equal to the container total gross weight
• Minimum length of forks: 2440 mm (96'')
Place the container on supports to remove the electric pallet jack.

4.4.2 PRE-CONDITIONING CARGO AND CONTAINER
4.4.2.1 PRE-CONDITION THE CARGO
The container is designed to maintain the cargo at the cargo space temperature set point, but not to cool or heat
the cargo.
The cargo must be pre-conditioned to the cargo space temperature set point before it is loaded into the
container. This includes packaging material, such as for example shrinkwrap, and temperature loggers.
Improper pre-conditioning will affect the container's ability to maintain the necessary cargo temperature.
4.4.2.2 PRE-CONDITION THE CONTAINER
The container must be pre-conditioned to the cargo space temperature set point before the cargo is loaded.
Improper pre-conditioning will affect the container's ability to maintain the necessary cargo temperature.
There are two ways of pre-conditioning the container:
• Using the internal pre-conditioning program
• Using a temperature controlled room
