1.2.- TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
The transport, loading and unloading and handling of the unit must
be carried out with proper precautions and using the proper manual
or mechanical tools to prevent damage to the unit.
If the unit is not to be immediately installed, it must be stored at a
location with a firm and level floor, and the storage conditions listed in
the section must be observed. 1.3.- STORAGE
In such a case, the unit should be kept in its original protective
packaging.
To move the unit a short distance, the unit's floor support profiles facilitate
handling with a pallet jack or forklift. ( Figure 2 )
The centre of gravity of some units may be found at a considerable
height. Therefore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended
that the unit be securely fastened and that no abrupt operations are
made. The unit should not be lifted more than 20 cm off the ground.
Figure 2: Transport with pallet jack
When unloading and moving the unit, use a forklift with forks long enough to
support the entire length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long
enough to support at least ¾ of said depth. The forks must be flat and supported
firmly by the base. The cabinet must be raised by placing the forks underneath
the profile that supports the unit. ( Figure 3 ).
