5.4.2 Handling by means of rollers (Figure 51).
Lift the switchgear section by means of a bridge or
mobile crane or by using jacks.
Remove the wooden pallet, loosening the screws
fixing it to the switchgear section base. Put a sturdy
metal sheet between the rollers and the base of the
cubicle and place the switchgear on the sliding rollers.
WARNING
 Only use rollers on a level floor.
 Move the switchgear section avoiding any
possible tilting.

5.4.3 Handling by transpallets or fork-lift trucks
(Figure 52).
To guarantee stability, the switchgear must not be
lifted too high. Check the levelness of the forks.
WARNING
 Only use transpallets or fork-lift trucks on a
level floor.
 Move the switchgear section avoiding any
tilting.
 Move the switchgear section very slowly and do
not brake suddenly. Quick movements and
sudden breaking lead to the unit toppling over.
