3.3 Handling and transport
Correct handling of the units is vitally important in order to:
- Prevent damage to the packaging which enables them to be kept in optimum condition from shipping until
they are unpacked.
- Avoid knocks and/or falls which may harm their mechanical characteristics, e.g. cause incorrect closure of
doors, loss of IP rating, etc.
- Avoid, as far as possible, vibrations which may cause subsequent malfunction.
If you observe any anomaly, please contact INGETEAM immediately.
Appropriate transport and storage of the unit are the necessary first steps for correct use and operation. Taking that
indicated at the beginning of this section into account and as a preventive measure, INGETEAM recommends the
use of transport companies specialised in the transport of special and/or fragile equipment.
All units packaged according to the Section ‘Receipt and unpacking of the unit’ must be handled with tools which
prevent damage to the packaging.
The unit must be protected, during transport and storage, from mechanical knocks, vibrations, water splashes (rain)
and any other product or situation which may damage it or alter its behaviour.
Transport must be carried out using a pallet truck, forklift truck or crane, whenever possible.
Transport using a pallet truck
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1) Place the packaged unit centred with respect to the forks.
2) Try to locate it as close as possible to the connection between the forks and the steering unit.
3) In any case, observe the instructions in the pallet truck’s user manual.
Transport using a forklift truck
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1) Place the packaged unit centred with respect to the forks.
2) Try to locate it as close as possible to the connection between the forks and the chassis.
3) Ensure that the forks are perfectly level to avoid overturning the unit.
4) In any case, observe the instructions in the forklift truck’s user manual.
Transporting the unpacked unit
Once the unit has been transported to the place where it is to be located and only when it is to be installed, unpack
the unit.
At this time, it can be transported vertically over a short distance without packaging. The following guidelines must
be observed:
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1) Hold the unit between two people using both hands on the top and bottom.
2) Follow the necessary ergonomic advice for lifting weights. The unit weighs between 60 and 65 kg, depending on
its power.
3) Do not release the unit until it is perfectly secured or placed.
4) Ask someone else to guide the movements to be made.
