Floor model load frames are shipped horizontally. The customer’s responsibility includes
righting the frame from the prone position prior to moving it to the testing location.
Upon special arrangements, an Instron
®
service engineer can supervise the off-loading
and transportation of the load frame to its final site. Contact Instron
®
Service or your
local Instron office for additional information on this service.
Insurance and safety
Under Instron’s standard contract, the shipping terms are Ex-Works (or FOB Factory),
meaning ownership and liability for the testing system transfers to the customer at
Instron’s loading dock. Unless other shipping terms are specified in a purchase order,
which Instron does not dispute, the Ex-Works shipping terms apply. Under these terms,
the customer is responsible for securing the applicable transit insurance on the
shipment and arranging safe transport to the final destination. Arrangements can be
made through Instron to secure insurance cover and shipping, at the customer’s
expense.
When transporting a load frame within your own premises, you are responsible for its
safe transport. Upon special arrangements, an Instron
®
service engineer can supervise
and transportation of the load frame to its final site. Contact Instron
®
Service or your
local Instron office for additional information on this service.
Materials disposal
It is the customer’s responsibility to properly dispose of any waste materials generated
from the installation of the system and its accessories, or from the general operation of
the system. This includes packing materials, battery, hydraulic fluid, and waste materials
contaminated with hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid is generally considered a hazardous
material so proper disposal of this substance, or anything contaminated with it, must
comply with local, state, and federal regulations.

The standard contract requires Instron
