3 Transport, storage and handling
3.1 Pre-packing and packing
Prior to packing, Halton inspects all products fully for any damages or physical faults. Halton inspects all
nameplates and identification tags against the purchase order and the Halton order confirmation to eliminate the
possibility of any mistakes or issues. If necessary, corrections are made.
Once the pre-packing procedure is complete, each product is sorted and packed according to weight and size.
Depending on the shipping requirements, the products are packed onto open pallets or pallets protected by
wooden covers. The products are secured to the pallets with plastic wrapping and straps.
3.2 Shipping and handling
Prior to loading the shipment, all packing and shipping documentation is checked.
One copy of the packing list is attached to each pallet, crate, or cardboard box in a waterproof plastic envelope.
Any additional copies of packing lists, customs invoices, shipping marks, and other documents are added
according to the client and shipping company requirements.
Use a forklift for loading or unloading the pallets.
Note: Some of the components can be delivered to the site in separate shipments.
3.2.1 Handling the product
To protect the product from damage or dirt, keep the product in its original box until it is needed for installation.
There is a product label in each box, which helps move the product in its correct location without the need for
unboxing.
When you take the product out of the box, do not lift the product by the pipes, as they damage easily, which leads
to leaking coils.
3.3 Checking the received equipment
1. Inspect the pallet or cardboard box and the products for any damage or missing parts. If you detect any
damage, or the shipment is incomplete, immediately file a claim with the shipping company.
2. Confirm that the products that you received are the ones that you ordered. If the products are not the ones
you ordered, see
Fault reporting and reclamations
for instructions.
3.4 Unpacking
Remove the straps and the plastic wrapping or other package covers from the pallets. Open the cardboard boxes.
Avoid damaging the products when you unpack them.
Note: The visible surface of the unit is protected with removable plastic coating. It protects the surface from dust,
dirt, and small scratches. It is recommended that you leave the plastic coating in place until the unit is taken into
use.
