4. INSTALLATION OF THE LIFTING PLATFORM
4.1. Transport and handling
The KOALA LP’s packaging elements for transport and handling include the following:
1 wooden pallet containing the LP. Gross weight: approx. 930 kg
1 crate containing the electro-hydraulic control unit. Gross weight: approx. 47 kg
1 crate containing the towing arm and other standard accessories. Gross weight: approx. 500 kg
For the handling of the complete consignment, it is necessary to use a forklift with a minimum capacity of
1500 kg. The forklift must have forks of at least 1.5 m in length.
The same holds true for the ground-based handling of the LP, once it has been unpacked, as it does not
come supplied with any accessories useful for its handling. The hydraulic control unit must likewise be
lifted using a forklift, but is equipped with appropriate wheels for ground transport. In order to lift the lifting
platform after it has been unpacked, tie the strap as shown in fig. 4.1.
! ! ATTENTION! !
If using a bridge crane for the lifting and handling operations, maximum care
must be taken to avoid impacts and jolts, as well as sudden accelerations or decelerations
which could cause the lift to become unbalanced.
4.2. Storage
The LP is designed for storage in environments which meet the following requirements:
-
Room temperature between -25°C and + 55°C for prolonged storage periods and -25°C and + 70°C
for storage periods of less than 24 hours;
- Relative humidity between 30% and 95% (without condensation).
Storage locations which do not meet the above requirements may not be used.
