Handling with forklift truck
Models 100 to 170 can be transported safely by using a forklift
truck. The transport supports make it easy to insert the forks.
These forks must come in on the side of the unit, ensuring that
the centre of gravity of the unit remains within the forks, because
a misbalance in the transport may cause the unit to turn over and
fall from the forklift truck.
Note: the module with the rotary heat exchanger (BW assembly)
includes two guides in its base frame to accommodate the forks.
The recommended length for the forks will be bigger than the unit
width (see table on next page), so that the entire weight-bearing
structure of the unit can be supported on the forklift truck.
The standards and recommendations of the forklift truck must also
be respected with regards to the maximum load, inclination of the
fork carriage, elevation of the load for transport, and, in particular,
the maximum speed.
Check that all the handling elements are properly
screwed.
Handling with crane
Important: slings must be attached to all the marked
rigging points (grips). These points are clearly
identifi ed by labels.
The slings hooks should be fi xed on top of the grips.
The skids must be removed before starting the installation of the
unit. They are secured to the unit by means of Allen M8 screws.
The following drawings show the position in which the transport
supports are to be placed:

The unit’s beams are fi tted with the following elements to allow
handling:
■ Rigging points (grips) to attach the slings of the crane.
Important: all rigging points must be used.
These rigging points are identifi ed with labels such
as the one shown in the image. These are the only
points that can be used to lift the unit.
■ Transport supports. These elements must be removed before
starting the installation of the unit. They are secured to the unit
by means of Allen M10 screws.
Important: The transport supports are not designed to drag
the unit.
■ Skids in case of transport in a container. In case of container
transport, the unit incorporates skids that facilitate the unloading.
This method will be used only when it is possible to place the
transport box (trailer, maritime container, etc.) at the same
height as the unloading platform (for example, a dock). To do
so, there are two gripping point that have to be used for the
drag of the unit from the box.
After unloading, the transport supports and the lifting grips (both
supplied with the unit) have to be mounted (tightening torque
of screws 25 Nm).
