TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
-
It is advised to transport the electric chain hoist in its original packaging or a dedicated flight case.
-
Before putting your EXE Rise hoist in storage make sure all components are dry
-
Use flight cases with ventilation openings for all compartments
-
Keep the chain oiled to prevent corrosion
-
Do not stack carton boxes in which the hoist comes from the factory higher than two
-
Provide a clip on attachment point for the lift chain hook in the flight case. This minimises the risk of
chain becoming entangled during transport.
-
When air freighted the pressure inside the hoist can increases and cause leakage of oil/grease.
This is temporary effect caused by difference in air pressure.
A Banksman should be present when moving goods with machinery such as lift trucks.
Packaging such as plastic bags, expanded polystyrene must not be released to the environment but must be
kept in order to pack again the hoist after using it.
4.2.1 Packaging storage
The goods are packaged in a way that offer protection from damage. This packaging should be stored in a
dry environment away from moisture, heat and temperatures from 10degrees Celsius up to 40degrees
Celsius
Should the hoist not be operated immediately, it is recommended to store it inside its packaging, in a
covered, dry and clean area, away from heat sources that might jeopardise its integrity.
4.2.2 Unpacking and ground handling of the hoist
