4.2 Requirements for Transport and Mounting
4.2.1 Requirements and Ambient Conditions
☐ The maximum permissible gradient of the access road is 4%.
☐ During unloading, a distance of at least 2m to neighboring obstacles must be observed.
☐ The access road must be constructed to ensure that a truck (16m long, 2.70m wide, 5m high, and a total weight
of 50t) can reach the unloading site. The curve radius of the truck must be taken into account.
☐ For trucks with several containers, the access roads and the unloading site must be designed corresponding to the
length, width, height, total weight and curve radius of the truck.
☐ The unloading site for the crane and truck must be firm, dry and horizontal.
4.2.2 Center of Gravity Marker
The center of gravity of the MVPowerStation is not in the middle of the unit. Take this into consideration when
transporting the MVPowerStation. The center of gravity depends on the device class of the MVPowerStation.
The center of gravity of the MVPowerStation is marked on the station container.

4.3 Transporting the MVPowerStation Using a Crane
Requirements:
☐ The crane and hoist must be suitable for the weight.
☐ The hoist must be properly connected to the crane.
☐ The factory-fitted transport lock on the devices of the MVPowerStation must be in place.
☐ The doors of the MVPowerStation must be closed.
Procedure:
1. Attach the hoist to the four upper or lower lifting lugs on the
MVPowerStation. When the hoist is attached to the lower
lifting lugs, you should protect the enclosure of the
MVPowerStation from mechanical damage by the hoist.
2. Ensure that the hoist is attached correctly.
3. Slowly raise the MVPowerStation and check if the hoist is taut evenly.
4. If the MVPowerStation is not level when raised, lower it back down to the ground.
5. Make sure that the hoist is attached so that the MVPowerStation will be lifted level. If necessary extend the
chains of the hoist with shackles, so that the MVPowerStation is in a horizontal position.
6. Raise the MVPowerStation slightly.
