In-house Transit Routes
In-house transit routes must be carefully considered. Vertical,
horizontal and turning clearances should be calculated from the
shipping crate dimensions of the instrument, which is the largest unit
in any system arrangement.
Particular attention should be made to the clearance of any doors in
the transit route to the laboratory. The required turning and door
clearance may need to take into consideration any lifting device used
for transporting the instrument such as a fork lift, pallet truck or
trolley.
