2.1. Lifting methods
The cubicles must always be kept upright, directly on the
ground or on a pallet depending on the type of handling
involved.
To handle
cgm
.3
assemblies
with up to 4 functional units,
one of the following methods should be used:
1.
Using a forklift truck or hand-operated pallet truck.
Position the rear of the cubicle facing the driver, to
avoid damaging the front.

2.
Raising it using slings fixed to the lifting supports on
the sides of the top of the cubicle. The angle of pull
should be as vertical as possible (with an angle of more
than 60° from the horizontal).

if it is not possible to use the aforementioned methods,
rollers may be used underneath the cubicles. Another
option is to slide the cubicles over rods (these same
rods can be used to get over the trench).
