3.3.1 Safety notes regarding transport
Improper transport equipment
WARNING!
Risk to life from using improper transport equip-
ment!
If packages are lifted without adequate transport
equipment and if they are not properly secured, they
may fall off and lead to fatal injuries.
–
Move components only in the position in which
they are to be installed.
–
Stand clear of suspended loads.
–
Do not move additional loads on top of a
package.
–
Use only the intended lashing points.
–
Make sure that no load is imposed on pipes,
ducts or cables.
–
Use only approved lifting gear and slings that are
suitable and sufficient for the load to be carried.
–
Do not tie ropes and chains or make knots or
place them on sharp edges.
–
Use lifting equipment only to lift packages or
units, not to push or pull them.
–
Ensure that ropes, belts and chains do not twist.
–
Ensure that transport equipment has been cor-
rectly assembled, fastened and secured before
you use it to lift anything.
–
Secure all doors, dampers and panels.
–
Move packages without any jerky movements
and put them down when you leave your work-
place.
–
Lifting eyes are designed for one-time use only
and not for permanently suspending loads.
–
Transport tubes are designed for one-time use
only and not for permanently suspending loads.
Warning: AHU casing units may tip over
WARNING!
Risk of injury from AHU casing units tipping
over!
Tall AHU casing units with a small footprint, e.g.
rotary heat exchangers, may easily tip over and
therefore pose an increased risk during unloading,
transportation and installation.
Be sure to take adequate precautions:
–
Use additional means to secure the casing units,
e.g. ratchet straps (by others).
–
Use only lifting and transport gear designed for
the required load.
–
Keep the casing units secured against shifting
and tipping over until installation is complete.
Unbalanced loads and centre of gravity
WARNING!
Risk of injury from falling or toppling loads!
Loads may be unbalanced, i.e. the centre of gravity
may not be obvious. If the load is not properly
attached to the lifting equipment, it may topple and
fall. Falling or toppling loads can cause serious inju-
ries.
–
Note that the centre of gravity is marked on each
package.
–
When you use a crane to move loads, ensure
that the centre of gravity of the load is directly
beneath the crane hook.
–
Lift any load carefully and keep an eye on it to
see whether it will stay in place. If required,
change the lashing point(s).
