4.1 Introduction
This section contains transport, handling, storage and installation modes of the crimping machine
GAMMA. Each of the following paragraphs reviews one of the above-mentioned operations
describing the procedures essential to their implementation.
4.2 Transport and handling
Before transporting the machine you must carefully fasten it to a pallet ( fig. 4.1) or pack it in a
caseor. The outside of the package must be provided with arrows showing the correct vertical
position of the machine. The machine must be carefully fastened to its package in order to guarantee
its protection during the transport. The various appliances making up the machine can not be moved
by hand, for they are not fitted with proper devices or accessories for manual handling. Therefore,
they must be lifted and handled by means of hoisting equipment with sufficient capacity load (see
data section 2). Use a lift truck with forks min.1,5 m long which must be inserted according to the
arrows shown on the package.
If the machine is to be handled without package (fig. 4.1) use a lift truck with the above mentioned
features and insert the forks as shown in figure.
It is also possible to lift the machine by means of crane or bridge crane: screw four eyebolts M12
(1, fig. 4.1) into the foreseen holes on the worktable, then fix the hoist cables (or chains). Choose
the cables/chains according to the weight to be lifted.
During the handling keep the machine stable in order to avoid any risk of falling due to jerks,
accelerations or decelerations.
! ! ! WARNING ! ! !
Be careful during lifting and handlig in order to avoid the
loss of balance and subsequent risk of falling down.
Specially when laying the machine down in the intended
installation site be careful in order to prevent the crushing
of legs.
