Lifting the pile driver
Danger - Warning
Be extremely careful when using a forklift truck to handle the pile driver; the pile
driver has a high barycentre therefore it becomes particularly unstable.
Use lifting means with a sufficient capacity for the load to be lifted.
Hooks and ropes in good condition suitable for the load to be lifted must be used for
lifting operations.
Proceed as outlined below.
1) Fit the bow shackles (A) on the special hooking points as shown in the figure.
2) Pass the lifting bands (B) through the hole in the column.
3) Check the weight of the installed pile driver to be lifted in the “Technical information”
chapter to make sure the lifting means is suitable.
4) Fasten the ropes to the bow shackles (A) indicated by a special sign.
The illustration shows the harnessing points and lifting procedure.
Procedure for getting on and off the transport means
Danger - Warning
Loading and unloading operations must be carried out on solid and level ground that
does not present risks.
When getting the machine on and off the transport means, the pile driver must be in
resting position.
Check that the capacity of the loading ramps is suitable; the ramps must have a guid-
ing edge on both sides to guide the tracks.
Position the ramps on the transport means and fix them in a stable way to the truck
bed using the fastening devices (pins, screws, chain etc.).
Where the ramps meet the truck bed there is a dangerous bump so move the machine
very carefully over this point.
Before getting the machine on and off the transport means clean the ramps and truck
bed accurately.
