Section 3: LOADING, UNLOADING & SHIPPING
Power Unit
The power unit should be loaded with the heat exchangers facing to the rear of the truck to prevent damage to
the heat exchangers from flying objects. The power unit is usually held to the truck by wrapping a chain around
both ends of the fuel tank sub-base. Before shipping the power unit, tape the exhaust rain cap shut to prevent
rainwater from entering. If quick-couplers do not have safety cables for the caps and plugs, store caps and
plugs under the panel in the storage box rather than risk the possibility of them coming loose and falling off into
traffic. Make sure all doors are fully closed and latched. Tighten fuel cap and close fuel petcock to prevent loss
of diesel fuel.
Vibrator or Rotary Head
The equipment should be shipped laying or sitting flat on the trailer deck. Lift the equipment by rigging one line
to the lifting pin and one line to the hose bundle as one load. Avoid crushing hydraulic lines.
Damage During Shipment
Before the truck leaves, carefully inspect the equipment and hoses for any missing components or signs of
damage that may have occurred during shipment or unloading. In the event of damage during shipment,
notify the trucking agent at once. Note all damage on the bill of lading. Fax or email the information to
International Construction Equipment, Inc. as soon as possible. Any delay may make it difficult to identify the
responsible party.
