LIFTING AND HANDLING

When loading/unloading or transporting the equipment to the site, be sure to use suitable loading
(e.g. cranes, trucks) and hoisting means. Be sure also to hoist and transport the components securely
so that they cannot drop, taking into consideration the package's size, weight and center of gravity
and it's fragile parts.
Hoist and handle only one package at a time!

3.3 STORAGE AND STACKING OF PACKAGES
Packages must be stored in a covered place, out of direct sunlight and in low humidity, at a
temperature between -10°C and +40°C.
Stacking is not recommended: the package's narrow base, as well as its considerable weight and size
make it difficult and hazardous.
3.4 DELIVERY AND CHECK OF PACKAGES
When the lift is delivered, check for possible damages due to transport and storage; verify that what
is specified in the RP-TOOLS' confirmation of order is included. In case of damage in transit, the
customer must immediately inform the carrier of the problem.
Packages must be opened paying attention not to cause damage to people (keep a safe distance when
opening straps) and parts of the lift (be careful the objects do not drop from the package when
opening).
