3.2 System transport
Shipment
On-site delivery is contingent on the presence of an
appropriate access route.
A Power Xpert
®
UX system is normally transported in
sections of up to 2 panels. The sections can be
assembled on site. The sections are placed onto pallets
and are packed in Styrofoam and plastic foil to prevent
against damage. The pallets are attached to the
equipment by means of steel straps.
On request, transport of individual panels can be
arranged.
Transport aids
Normally the Power Xpert
®
installation is fitted with a
lifting device. This can either be temporarily fitted hoisting
frame or lifting eyes. If lifting eyes are fitted, the
installation can be lifted with solid bars, which are pushed
through the lifting eyes. Solid bars with a diameter
between 30 mm shall be used for this purpose.
If a lifting device is not fitted, long suitable hoisting straps
or chains have to be used. Care should be taken to
ensure even lifting is achieved and no bending stresses
are placed on the equipment.
A packed Power Xpert
®
installation can be moved with the
aid of a forklift truck or by crane. If the installation has to
be moved by crane, a special hoisting frame is available.
The hoisting frame can be attached on top of the
installation.
3.2.1 Delivery inspection
Eaton cannot accept claims, which are not reported within
24 hours after delivery.
Damage
It is advised to check the equipment for damage due to
transport directly after arrival of the shipment.
Completeness
It is advised to check for missing parts and accessories
directly after arrival of the shipment.
3.2.2 Instructions for transport
The user is to follow the supplier’s instructions.
Transport
The installation must always be transported in the
vertical position.
During transport, suitable precautions are taken:
To prevent intrusion of dust.
To prevent intrusion of moisture (e.g. rain).
To prevent against damage.
Lifting
Lifting under normal conditions
See that the work area is clean and safe; obey the
local statutory provisions.
Never stand under a hoisted load.
The angle of the lifting chain or strap relative to the
lifting point must never be smaller than 60.
Lifting under cold conditions
See that the work area is clean and safe; obey the
local statutory provisions.
Never stand under a hoisted load.
The angle of the lifting chain or strap relative to the
lifting point must never be smaller than 60.
Between -5C and -19C, the workload is to be
reduced by 25% if the used lifting gear is made from
steel, which complies with or is less than grade B of
the Euro norm 25-67.
Lifting under windy conditions
See that the work area is clean and safe; obey the
local statutory provisions.
Never stand under a hoisted load.
The angle of the lifting chain or strap relative to the
lifting point must never be smaller than 60.
The lifting operation has to be stopped if the wind
force exceeds force 7 on the scale of Beaufort (more
than 13.9-17 m/s). If lifting takes place at great height
lifting must be stopped earlier.
