Transport with crane, hooked onto eye bolt
(1 attachment point)
For transport with a crane, the pump-motor unit
can be hooked onto the crane hook as follows:
 directly on the eye bolt
or possibly
 with lifting belts.
Eye bolt:
All models are equipped with an eye bolt. The
eye bolt is mounted on the vacuum
pump/compressor housing.
In case of possible removal and remounting of
the eye bolt, it must be ensured that the eye level
is positioned exactly in the axis direction of the
pump-motor unit. Lay shims under the eye bolt if
necessary.
The eye bolt must be firmly tightened.
Loads laterally to the ring level are not
permissible. Heavy impact loads during transport
must be avoided.
