TRANSPORTING AND SETTING UP A K°BLOC

DELIVERED IN HORIZONTAL POSITION

All horizontal-type K°Bloc are transported in horizontal position. Some
vertical-type K°Bloc units are also transported in horizontal position due to
their weight and height. Depending on the type, K°Bloc units must be
fastened to the lifting equipment and lifted in different ways:

•

Horizontal-type K°Bloc | standard K°Bloc (page 37)

•

Horizontal-type K°Bloc | special-design K°Bloc (page 41)

•

Vertical-type K°Bloc - delivered in horizontal position (page 45)
