Transport to the installation site
Only trained unloading personnel may be used for the work listed in this chapter!
Note:
Roller & measuring conveyors longer than 6 meters are usually shipped in single segments and are packed
either on two separate freight pallets or on top of each other.
There is an increased risk of accidents when unloading and transporting the roller &
measuring conveyor! The roller conveyor can fall or tip over due to its weight!
Only use approved, tested lifting gear and load handling attachments with a load ca-
pacity of at least 200 kg per meter of roller conveyor length. Only transport the roller
conveyor on level, solid ground!
When setting up, pay attention to the possible danger of crushing in the area of sta-
tionary objects around the roller conveyor!
Increased risk of crushing and impact to hands, feet and head! To avoid serious inju-
ries, wear protective gloves, safety shoes and safety helmet!
Warning: Increased risk of injury and death! Never stand under the load when lifting
and setting it down! Instruct bystanders to leave the danger zone!
Warning: Increased risk of injury and death! Do not enter or climb onto the forklift plat-
form during transport!
8.1
Unloading with a forklift truck
•
With the forks set wide enough, drive centrally under the intended places on the freight pallet of the roller
and measuring conveyor and carefully lift only a few centimetres. Lift the roller measuring conveyor including
the pallet carefully and consistently from the truck and transport it to the desired installation site in accord-
ance with the general safety regulations.
•
Only use a forklift truck whose fork length is suitable for the width of the roller conveyor and whose load
capacity is suitable for the weight of the roller conveyor (approx. 100 kg per meter of roller conveyor length).
Danger to life when using a forklift truck! Keep a sufficient distance from the forklift
truck and watch its speed. Vehicles with internal combustion engines also produce toxic
exhaust gases. Wear a breathing mask if necessary.
8.2
Check delivery condition
Check for completeness and transport damage. In case of transport damage or missing parts, document these
immediately on the consignment note of the transport company
→
Inform the manufacturer of the situation.
8.3
Unpacking and placing
Unpack the roller conveyor and remove the packaging material. Lift the roller conveyor from the transport pallet
with a forklift truck (see procedure in section
9.1). Drive under the centre of the long side of the roller conveyor
with appropriately adjusted forks and lift carefully. Then lift carefully from the pallet, remove the pallet and place
the roller on the ground.
Fire hazard! Do not smoke or light an open fire.
Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner!
