3. TRANSPORT & STORAGE
3.1 SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
1. Motor may be shipped mounted in the baseplate alongside the pump or loose, at the
factory’s discretion. This will be considered on a case by case basis depending on the
potential effect on the baseplate’s design, weight distribution and risks of improper lifting
and/or handling of the equipment.
2. If, by customer request, it is necessary that all the components be mounted on the baseplate
during shipping, this must be notified to Ruhrpumpen during the quoting process, as this
requires an analysis and design of a special, customized baseplate.
3. If during the quoting process the customer fails to notify Ruhrpumpen the request that all the
components be forcibly mounted on the baseplate during shipment, Ruhrpumpen may ship
all components mounted on the baseplate, prior written request from the customer, under
the customer’s responsibility of the risks of deformation during transport.
A wooden skid is furnished for support and ease of transportation. Other required items (e.g. coupling,
hardware, spare parts, etc.) are boxed or secured to the skid.
