Lifting package

WARNING:

Lift and transport the units packed in an upright position very carefully.

Handle high units very carefully. Never place them on an inclined or uneven plane.

Danger of falling.

Before lifting the unit, check the weight on the nameplate. Verify that the lifting supports at least the unit weight +10 %, when using a forklift. Only lift from the middle of the unit at the center of gravity supported by the pallet. For safe lifting, the forks must be longer than 2.5 m and fully inserted under the unit. Position the forks to the maximum width over the area supported by the pallet. Only lift an empty unit.

Both in upright and horizontal transport position, the vertical air flow unit with has its legs fixed to the pallet. The legs are installed in the transport position. The lifting/turning lug, turning supports and horizontal leg support are delivered loose in the same package. The lifting/turning lugs and turning supports (not included in the FD units) are only delivered with the models packed in an upright position.

A horizontal air flow unit, packed in an upright position, is fixed to the pallet with a mounting rail. The lifting lug is delivered loose in the same package.

When you lift the package with a forklift truck, use the lifting point at the lengthwise center of gravity and ensure that it is in the middle, between the forklifts. When lifting a long unit, position the forks to the maximum width over the area supported by the pallet.

Caution: Check that the unit is tied tightly to prevent it from moving during transport. Ensure that the binding does not damage the unit.
