Transporting Froment 8800 S
ERIES
Load Banks
The 8800 load bank weighs approximately 20000kg (see the rating plate for the exact
weight). They require a hoist, forklift or other lifting equipment to move them.
Both sizes are fitted with standard ISO twistlock lifting points and are supplied with
optional CSC certification for top-loading shipping. If you need to move the load bank it is
important to pay attention to the following points:
Lifting by crane or hoist
Any equipment designed for moving a shipping container should be suitable for the
purpose. The crane and any lifting chains or straps used must have sufficient capacity to
safely lift the weight of the load bank. All of the available lifting points must be used.
Transport
All doors and louvre covers should be closed and locked before moving the unit.
When originally shipped, 8800 S
ERIES
load banks are provided with removable shipping
covers. These should be retained and re-fitted before the unit is moved - this is particularly
important if the unit is to be shipped by sea.
•
The container should only be transported on a flat-bed or flat-rack type open vehicle
fitted with the appropriate twistlocks to allow the container to be secured to the
vehicle.
•
8800 S
ERIES
load banks are not suitable for over stowing on the deck of the ship. They
require a top loading slot, under the deck for insurance purposes (refer to the CSC
certification plate attached to the unit for details).
Storage
The original transport packaging should be left in place on the load bank and it should be
stored under cover, in a heated warehouse, until it is ready to be installed and commissioned.
This recommendation applies, even if the load bank is intended for installation outdoors.
Usually such equipment will be fitted with an anti-condensation heater, which will not be
operational until the load bank is finally installed and commissioned.
Packaging
Before installing a load bank remove all packaging. Dispose of it in the appropriate way for
the material type.
8800 S
ERIES
load banks are provided with removable metal covers for the hot air exhaust
and blanking plates for the cable inlet socks. These must be removed before the unit is
put in to operation.
The exhaust covers are secured in place by metal cable ties. These must be cut to remove
them. When removing them take extreme care not to drop pieces of cable tie into the duct.
Warning! Avoid walking
on the roof of the unit.
As far as possible, use
a ladder to access each
of the top corner lift
points, and use a pre-at-
tached hauling line
to pull the sling-hook
within reach. If walking
on the roof is unavoid-
able use appropriate
anti-fall protection
equipment attached to
the fall-arrest anchorag-
es provided.
