Unloading transport units
Lifting packed transport
units with the crane
To avoid damage and pollution, the transport units should be transported as long as possible
in their original packing. Packed transport units are always lifted with the wooden pallet.
➭ Use transport tackle / spreader to prevent the transport units from being damaged by
the ropes.
➭ Sling the ropes around the ends of the wooden pallets.
➭ Unload the transport units and set them down as close to the switchgear building as
possible in order to avoid unnecessary moves.
➭ Move the transport units into the building, if possible on their wooden pallets. Only remove
packing where absolutely necessary in order to keep the switchgear as clean as possible.
➭ Remove foil only in the building, right before assembling the transport units.
Removing transport units
from wooden pallets
Unpack transport units and remove from the pallets only if
• there are only short transportation ways left inside the switchgear building, or
• the transport units can be set down with the crane directly at the switchgear building.
The transport unit is screwed on the pallet. The fixing points for transport are located behind
the front metal cover in the frame and at the rear cross member.
➭ Remove the metal covers from the subframes of the panels.
➭ Remove all fixing bolts that connect the transport unit with the transport pallet.
Lifting unpacked
transport units
with the crane
To lift the transport unit, two round steel bars with a diameter of 30 mm are required.
Minimum length of the round steel bars: Width of transport unit plus 400 mm.
The transport holes for pushing the round bars in are marked on the transport units
with a red symbol.
DANGER
Risk of injury due to transport units falling down. The transport units can slip off the transport
tackle due to the high position of the center of gravity.
➭ Do not stay under suspended loads.
➭ Avoid heavy movement of the load.
➭ Secure the fixing points of the ropes against slipping off.
ATTENTION
Parts of the switchgear may be damaged by touching ropes or chains when lifted.
➭ Use transport tackle / expander.
