Transport unit and packing
Transport unit Transport units consist either of:
• individual switchpanels
– one panel per pallet (for interconnection at site)
– several panels per pallet (for interconnection at site)
• or pre-assembled panel groups up to a maximum of 3 panels, with interconnection bus
bars installed (optional)
• and accessories.
Packing The transport units can be packed as follows:
• on pallets, covered with plastic film
• in a seaworthy crate (switchgear is sealed with desiccant bags in plastic film)
• other packings in special cases (e.g., cardboard box for air-freight).
Unloading and transport at site
Please observe:
• The handling equipment must be suitable for the weight marked on the transport unit.
For planning purposes, a weight of 900 lbs (400 kg) per panel should be assumed.
• Leave the transport units packed as long as possible.
• Open the plastic film only as far as required for transport.
• Lifting cables so that the angle between cables is less than 90°.
• Move the transport unit as far as possible before removing the wooden pallet.
Transport with lifting device
A panel group consisting of more than two panels is transported with a spreader bar (not
furnished) to prevent the panels from being damaged during lifting.
Transport units with switchgear end walls are equipped with the special lifting device.
For transport with a fork-lift truck the transport unit is lifted by means of two carrying
rods (not furnished) which are fitted through the lifting device holes.
