Transportation and installation
4.1
General information
The gantry press was configured by Strautmann Umwelttechnik GmbH.
In doing so, all technical and safety concerns were taken into consideration.
When the safety equipment has been commissioned and tested, the gantry press is
ready to be operated for the intended purpose.
If the gantry press is to be modified, it may be advantageous to have the conversion
as well as the set-up and tool-setting work on the gantry press performed at
Strautmann Umwelttechnik GmbH. To this end, the gantry press will have to be
returned to Strautmann Umwelttechnik GmbH.
4.2
Transportation by crane
Observe the following safety instructions if the gantry press is transported by crane:
Danger!
Life-threatening crush injuries when lifting and transporting the
system components!
Improper lifting and transportation may cause the machine
components to tip over and fall down!
The components may be lifted and transported by suitable lifting
tackle only!
● Only use lifting tackle that can support a minimum load-bearing
capacity of half the machine weight (evenly distributed load)
and which is in a technically perfect state!
● The components must be attached to the appropriately
identified attachment points!
● Never stand under suspended loads!
● Observe the applicable accident prevention and occupational safety regulations!
● Follow the instructions and regulations of the freight carrier!
● Check that the lifting tackle is securely fixed to the attachment points and to the
crane hook.
For this type of transportation, the machine base is equipped with suspension plates
(welded or bolted) with bores.
