Transporting the megawatt station
WARNING! Keep the transportation height as low as possible. Make sure that the
total height of the transportation is not more than the maximum allowed height for
the planned route.
Transport the megawatt station on an open heavy-duty chassis. Do not use an
enclosed trailer because this can cause damage to the surface of the megawatt
station.
Do not throw hooks over the roof. This can cause damage to the paint and cause
corrosion.
Obey these instructions:
• Protect the megawatt station with wooden corners, plastic film, etc. The megawatt
station is delivered unpacked from the factory as standard.
• Protect the interior of the megawatt station from rainwater with temporary protection
plates (anti-typhoon) on the air intakes and outlets.
• The dimensions of the megawatt station are equivalent to a 40 foot HC (High Cube)
1AAA type shipping container. You can transport the megawatt station on a dedicated
sea container trailer using the standard container attachment system.
• If you do not use a dedicated sea container trailer, put the megawatt station directly on
the transportation chassis to prevent sliding and to keep the total height as low as
possible. Use friction enhancement mats (rubber) below the megawatt station. The
maximum thickness of a mat is 30 mm. Fasten the megawatt station firmly onto the
chassis with heavy-duty transport straps.
Incoming inspection at arrival
Examine the megawatt station for transportation damage. Mark and record any damage
and tell the local ABB or ABB sales contact immediately. To prevent corrosion, repair
surfaces with damaged paint. Refer to To repair the painted surfaces on page 58.
Make sure that the unit corresponds to the delivery list and order. Record deviations and
inform the local ABB or ABB sales contact immediately.
