Handling and Transport 

During handling and transport, suitable lifting equip-

ment must be used depending on the weight of the 

gearbox. The permissible lifting capacities and other 

specifications of the hoist manufacturer must be ob-

served. 

Suitable suspension points have to be gathered from 

Figure  1.  All  BT,  BM  and  BF  series  gearboxes  are 

equipped with metric threads in the housing at these 

points. The thread sizes can be gathered from the re-

spective data sheets. If ring bolts are used, a suitable 

spreader beam may have to be used. 

 

 

DANGER! 

 

Death  or  extremely  serious  injury  /  crippling  caused  by  falling  loads.  During 

transport, never stay under suspended loads. 

The  weights  given  in  Table  3  apply  to  gearboxes  with  solid  output  shafts  on  both 

sides.
