Transport with a crane
WARNING
Danger due to incorrect transport
If the transport unit is not properly transported with a crane, the transport unit/cabinet could fall
or tip over This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Make sure that you read the safety information about transportation and the information
provided on the transport unit (e.g. center of gravity specifications).
WARNING
Danger due to unsuitable cross-arms
If inappropriate cross-arms are used, the transport unit or cabinet can tip over. This can result
in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Observe the specifications provided in DIN EN 13155 on cross-arms.
Observe the following points for safe transport:
● When using a crane to transport the equipment, keep to the permissible lifting capacity. Pay
attention to the center of gravity position.
● If the cabinet center of gravity is off-center, use suitable lifting equipment, e.g. a lifting beam.
● If the cabinet has eye hooks, use them. In such cases, do not use any lifting rods.
4.4.6
Using lifting rods
During transportation with a crane, force is absorbed by the supporting frame of the cabinet.
The supporting frame remains on the unit. The device is mounted at the installation site via the
supporting frame.
Note
Lifting bars
The lifting bars are not included in the scope of delivery.
WARNING
Danger if the device falls
Inadequately dimensioned lifting rods are liable to bend or break. As a consequence, the
device can fall from the crane. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Use suitable lifting rods for transporting. The weight of the cabinet is indicated on the rating
plate.
