8 TRANSPORT, STORAGE, LIFTING AND, HANDLING AND PACKAGING
8.1 T
RANSPORT
AND
STORAGE
Packaging: Supplied directly by Mase Generators.
The total weight of the packed generator is given in Paragraph 2.4 “Table of technical characteristics”.
It is strictly prohibited to pollute the environment with the packaging
Transport: During transport the generator (with or without packaging) must be protected against atmospheric
agents, it must not be turned upside down and must be protected against knocks. The generator must be transported
without fuel to prevent leaks during travel.
Storage: The generator must be stored in horizontal position and away from atmospheric agents and humidity.
8.2 L
IFTING
AND
HANDLING
All the lifting operations must be carried out by personnel
specialised in this type of work, such as truck drivers,
crane drivers, slingers.
The operator is considered
responsible for using the correct machine slinging and
lifting technique.
8.2.1 L
IFTING
AND
HANDLING
WITH
CRANE
The machine must be lifted and handled with the systems
indicated in the picture. Check that the hoisting cables or
chains are homologated or of sufficient capacity, and also
check the minimum cable length. Calculate the cable
capacity considering that for each of the two sling sections
a weight about double that shown on the identification plate
of the machine has to be supported (this is to compensate
for the cable angle). Always use the eyebolts provided by
the manufacturer and always marked with a pictogram.
ALWAYS TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN
LIFTING THE GENERATOR:
Do not swing suspended loads.
Never leave the load unattended.
Lower the generator to the ground very slowly.
Always maintain the safety distance.
The gravity centre of the generator corresponds to
about the centre of its geometrical volume.
8.2.2 L
IFTING
AND
HANDLING
WITH
FORKLIFT
TRUCK
Use a forklift truck with wide forks and of adequate
capacity and lift in a barycentric position (which
corresponds to about the centre of its geometrical
volume).
The trailed version cannot be lifted with a forklift.
The hoisting structure has been designed to hold the
generator suspended for the time strictly necessary
to move it.
DO NOT PARK THE SUSPENDED
GENERATOR !
