Lifting points
These rotary cutters have adequate lifting points as shown on the illustration below.
When lifting with a hoist, it is essential to hitch the cables to these points.
Marchesan does not advise the equipment traffic on highways, because this
practice involves serious security risks in addition to being prohibited by the
current existing traffic law. The transportation for long distances should be
done on truck, trailer or other by following these safety guidelines:
• Use adequate ramps to load or unload the equipment. Do not make the loading
on ditch banks, it can cause a serious accident.
• When lifting with a hoist, use the appropriate points to lift.
• Underpin the equipment appropriately.
• Use chock blocks and safety chains to secure the equipment to the truck or
trailer during the transport.
• After 8 to 10 km transporting, please inspect the load condition. Repeat this
procedure every 80 to 100 km. Give more attention when transporting the
equipment on rough roads, slopes and other adverse conditions.
• Always be careful with the load height, especially when passing under electrical
power lines, bridges and others.
• Check all laws and regulations regarding the height limits and load width while
transporting the equipment to the truck or trailer. If necessary use banners,
lights and other devices in order to give adequate warning to the other drivers.
