Handling and Transporting the Machine
3.1 HANDLING
he machine can be easily transported over long
distances, with appropriate means of transport:
trucks, trailers, railway wagons, etc.
DANGER
Loading and unloading operations of the ma-
chine may be very dangerous if not carried out
with the utmost attention. When the machine is
lifted and moved, it is necessary to clear the
area of unauthorized personnel, and to clear
and delimit the area, checking the integrity and
suitability of the means available. It is also ne-
cessary to ensure that the area of operation is
clear and that there is an” escape area”, that is
an area that is free and safe, in which the
operator can move quickly if the machine were
to fall.
These operations must only be carried out by
staff that are trained and qualified in this type
of operation.
3.1.1 LOADING AND TRASPORTING
THE MACHINE
Before proceeding with the loading operation,
check the vehicle available for such carriage is sui-
table and has the ability to carry the weight of the
machine.
Please consult paragraph “1.8 Technical details” in
this regard for the size and weight of the machine.
This data is also useful for controlling the possibi-
lity of transit of the machine to narrow or restricted
areas.
WARNING
During handling, the operator must use appro-
priate personal protective equipment (gloves,
safety shoes, glasses, etc.).
After having ensured the above, please proce-
ed with loading.
- The machine can be loaded or unloaded from a
transport plane, with a crane or bridge crane, move
the machine by hooking it to the four brackets, with
tie rods or chains arranged in order, as shown in
Figure 5.
- Ensure that the area in which you make the load
has compact soil and is flat and dry.
- The platform on which you want to load the machi-
ne must be perfectly level to avoid possible move-
ment.
- Check that the loading platform is not damaged.
Should the platform appear insecure, too weak or
unstable, do not load the machine.
- Check that both the loading equipment and the
means of transport are in good condition and suita-
ble for the load.
- After loading the machine and loosening the tie
rods or chains that were used to lift it, fix the ma-
chine with the suitable tie-rods to the anchor points
of the loading platform.
