4.2 Packaging, transport and handling
Before handling the jib crane and its accessories you should know that:
4.2.1 Standard packaging
•
The metalwork parts of the jib crane (column and arm) are generally supplied with packaging,
hooking points are present on the columns to make it easier to move them during installation
operations (fig. 13).
•
To make handling and assembly operations easier for the lifting unit, if it is part of the supply, it can
be delivered in a cardboard box (with or without pallet) or, where included, in a crate or wooden
cage or even simply on a pallet.
•
When the lifting unit is delivered on a pallet, it is generally covered with a protection against dust
composed of a polyethylene film.
•
Any other accessories which are part of the supply (e.g.: electrical system components) can be
delivered inside or in cardboard boxes that, based on the weight to move, can be with or without a
pallet.
•
The standard packaging is not waterproof against rain and is designed for destinations via land
and not via sea, for covered and non-damp environments. Therefore, special packaging or
protections are excluded from the supply unless they are contained in the contract.
•
If necessary, the packaging can include signs and pictograms that provide important information
regarding handling and transport (weight, lifting points, storage information, etc.) - (fig. 14).
•
Appropriately preserved parcels can be stored for a period of around two years in covered
environments where the temperature ranges from -20°C to +60°C with relative humidity of 80%.
Specific packaging needs to be prepared for different environmental conditions.

4.2.2 Transport
•
The transport must be performed by qualified shippers able to guarantee correct handling of the
transported material.
•
Avoid placing parcels on the parts of the jib crane or other packaged parts that could cause damage
during the transport.
•
During transport phases it is advisable that the pallets or crates/cages not be turned over or upside
down, to avoid dangerous changes in their barycentre and to thus constantly guarantee the best
stability for them.
DONATI SOLLEVAMENTI S.r.l. shall not be held liable for transports made by the
customer or shippers chosen by the customer.
