2.1 Unloading
The unit is normally delivered in separate modules placed on wooden cross beams or a
wooden pallet. Each part is wrapped in protective packing. The following steps should be
taken when unloading the modules:
•
Find a suitable place for unloading as modules can be very heavy (up to 2500 kg).
•
Unload the modules with a forklift or crane (see instructions below).
•
Do not tilt or lay down modules with integrated refrigeration system (compressor).
•
Check the packing and modules for transport damage and report immediately any
damage to the driver and to Dantherm Air Handling.
•
Retain the packing until the sections/modules are placed on the mounting location to
avoid damages on cabinet parts or connecting pieces that overhang.
•
If the unit is delivered with a separate control panel, it should be handled with special
caution and stored in a safe and dry location until the installation is carried out.
2.2 Lifting with a forklift
If a fork-lift is being used it must be ensured that the forks are long enough to reach all through
under the unit so that the bottom of the cabinet is not damaged. Rough and incorrect handling
can damage the unit and hereby result in glitch.
Make sure that the modules centre of gravity is always in the centre of the two forks, so the
module can be transported stable. Be extra careful when transporting short but high and wide
units.
Depending if the module is short or long there are two ways to lift. Long modules with a base
frame and wooden cross beams or without a base frame on a pallet, should always be lifted
from the inspection or backside of the unit, never in the longitudinal direction, as the base
frame or pallet is not designed for this.
Short modules (475 up to 600 mm) with or without a base frame will always stand on a pallet
and can only be lifted in the longitudinal direction as they are too short for lifting from the
inspection or back side.
