4.3.4 Transport with a fork-lift truck
WARNING
Use of non-approved fork-lift trucks
If the forks are too short, this can cause the transport unit/cabinet to tip over resulting in death,
serious injury, or damage to the cabinet.
The forks of the truck must protrude at the rear of the transport pallet. The floor panels of the
transport units will not support a load.
Only use fork-lift trucks approved for this purpose to transport the units.
When the transport units are transported or moved with a fork-lift truck, the force is absorbed
through the transport pallet.
Observe the following points for safe transport:
● Transport the transport unit/cabinet with the greatest care.
● Choose the lowest transport height possible. The pallet may not touch the ground. Always
transport the cabinet in an upright position.
● Avoid driving over bumps.

fall or tip over This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.

provided on the transport unit (e.g. center of gravity specifications).
WARNING
Use of inappropriate cross-arms
If inappropriate cross-arms are used, the transport unit or cabinet can tip over. This can result
in death, serious injury or material damage.
