WARNING!
The IBEX breaker is heavy. A falling or tipping forklift
and/or breaker can cause injury or damage to
people or the surrounding area.
Ø
Transport the IBEX breaker using only machinery
and accessories with the correct loading capacity.
Ø
Ensure that nobody is within the working area or
route when transporting the IBEX breaker.
3.1 Transport using an excavator or
crane
The lifting eye that is integral to the IBEX breakers
housing should be used for lifting or relocating. This
should be performed using a chain or cable that is
suitable for the particular breaker. The breaker should
never be lifted using the tool or adapter plate.
3.2 Transport using a forklift
◊ Choose a forklift that is capable of making the lift.
◊ Ensure that the forks are adjusted to a suitable
width before attempting to lift the breaker.
◊ Place the forks under the housing of the breaker
so that the weight is evenly distributed.
◊ Carefully lift the breaker and once stable transport
the breaker. It is possible that the breaker is much
wider than the forklift. Take care to assess the
surrounding area for obstacles before attempting
to transport the breaker.
◊ Extra attention should be given when driving with
a breaker. The material of the breaker is naturally
slippery when on the fork, and there is a greater
chance of it shifting whilst in motion.
◊ For extra information and tips read the operation
manual of the forklift and pay attention to the
lifting table included.
3.3 Transport using a van or truck
◊ It is advised, and in some regions mandatory to
place the IBEX breaker on an antislip mat whilst on
transport.
◊ The breaker should be securely fastened during
transport. The use of lashing straps to fix the
breaker in place so that it cannot shift is strongly
advised.
◊ It is advised to fasten the breaker so that is cannot
shift in any direction transport.
◊ The tool should always face the backside of the
vehicle.
