devices that stand vertically (with horizontal axis).
→ Store the fan lying flat, in other words with the axis
vertical.
→ Secure the fan(s) with appropriate equipment such as a
lashing strip so that nothing can slip or tip, especially when
stacking multiple fans.
→ Also take possible wind forces into consideration.
