Reflex Marine FROG-XT6 - Forklift; Crane; Securing; Inspection

Rev 0.2 35 | P a g e
5.2 Forklift
Care should be taken when handling with a forklift truck to avoid damaging the underside
(landing feet, pillar struts or base of the central lifting column). Alternatively the capsule
may be secured to a pallet specifically designed for use with forks.
5.3 Crane
When lifting the carrier with short chain or strop, a temporary shackle should be fixed to the
handling lifting point. Care should be taken not to damage the lifting assembly. Shackle
should not be fitted through the thimble of the lifting assembly eyes.
5.4 Securing
For deck fastening, place straps across the floor grating.
5.5 Inspection
Before and after transportation the carrier should be inspected to check for damage
sustained in transit. The unit must not be used if any structural damage is observed. If any
damage has been observed a visual inspection should be carried out to determine the extent
of the damage.
5.6 Preparation for Road Transport
Prior to shipping, the seat harnesses should be secured by fastening the buckle together and
then tightening the harness straps. This will prevent seat harnesses flapping and damaging
the seating area. It is recommended that the carrier is covered for shipping either with a
FROG-XT weatherproof protective cover or other heavy duty tarpaulin material.
5.7 Shipping
The FROG-XT6 will fit in a standard or high-cube
container. If it is transported on flat rack it should
be secured. Recommended securing points are
the pillar struts and the back-up eye. To protect it
from excess loading, the main Lift-Eye should not
be used as a securing point. Feet should be
supported to prevent collapse, this can be done
by placing suitable chocks or props under the
unit.
5.8 Storage
The FROG-XT range has been designed to cope with the harsh conditions on an offshore
installation or vessel; however it is important to protect the unit as much as possible from
any hazardous elements and UV degradation. It is recommended that the FROG-XT is stored
under a FROG-XT weatherproof cover whilst not in use.
