5.2
Forklift
Care should be taken when handling the FROG-XT6-P with a forklift truck to avoid damage
the underside (landing feet, cross braces or base of the central lifting column). Alternatively,
the capsule may be secured to a pallet specifically designed for use with forks.
5.3
Crane
When lifting the FROG-XT6-P with short chain or strop, a temporary shackle should be fixed
to the handling lifting point. Care must be taken not to damage the lifting assembly.
A
Shackle should not be fitted through the thimble of the lifting assembly eyes.
5.4
Securing
For deck fastening, use the peripheral braces around the floor grating.
5.5
Inspection
Before and after transportation the FROG-XT6-P must be inspected to check for damage
sustained in transit. The unit must not be used if any structural damage is observed. If any
damage has been observed, please complete a visual inspection to determine the extent of
the damage.
5.6
Preparation for Road Transport
Prior to shipping, the seat harnesses should be stowed by securing the buckle together and
then tightening the harness straps. This will prevent seat harnesses flapping and damaging
the seating area. It is recommended that the FROG-XT6-P is covered for shipping either with
a FROG-XT6-P weatherproof protective cover or other heavy-duty tarpaulin material.
5.7
Shipping
The FROG-XT6-P will fit in a standard or high-
cube container. In preparation for shipping in a
container all buoyancy panels must be removed.
The buoyancy panels will need to be refitted
prior to first use.
If the FROG-XT6-P is transported on flat rack it
must be secured. Recommended securing points
are the radial / peripheral floor braces and the
back-up eye. To protect it from excess loading, the main Lift-Eye must not be used as a
securing point. Feet must be supported to prevent collapse; this can be done by placing
suitable chocks or props under the unit.
5.8
Storage
The FROG-XT6-P has been designed to cope with the harsh conditions on an offshore
installation or vessel; however, it is important to protect the unit as much as possible from
any hazardous elements and UV degradation. It is recommended that a FROG-XT6-P
weatherproof cover is used whilst not in use.
