Lifting the megawatt station
• Protect the corners of the megawatt station against shock.

corners, according to ISO 3874 for HQ 40' type A.

• Adjust the lengths of the lifting slings so that the megawatt station does not tilt during
the lifting.

corrosion.
• Use a guide wire attached to a lower corner of the megawatt station to prevent
rotation.
• Use only authorized lifting equipment and personnel.
