4 UNLOAD/TRANSPORTATION/STORAGE
Please make sure to have sufficient safe distance during forklift operation to prevent people from
standing or passing on both sides.
When unloading using a forklift, particular care should be taken to control the travel speed and
prevent tilting during cornering.
In any circumstances, for vertical landscape packages, it shall not be stacked more than two layers;
for vertical portrait packages, stacking is not allowed.
The working ground needs to ensure that the packaging box can be placed horizontally and steadily
to avoid tipping.
Example for vertical landscape package and vertical portrait package is shown as follows:
UNLOADING
Upon arrival of the modules, please check the packaging box is in good condition, and check whether
the module type and quantity on the outer packaging are consistent with the delivery order, if
anything is wrong, please contact Trina Solar logistics and sales staff immediately.
1. Unloading with a crane
When crane is used to unload the modules, please choose and use specialized tooling according to
the weight and size of the module. Please adjust the position of the sling to keep the modules steady.
To ensure the safety of the module, wooden sticks, boards or other fixtures of the same width as the
outer packing cases should be used on the upper part of the box to prevent the sling from squeezing
the pallet and damaging the modules. When placing the modules, do not lower the packing box too
quickly and put it on a flat ground.
For vertical landscape packages, do not lift up more than FOUR pallets
of modules at once; for vertical portrait packages, do not lift up more than
TWO pallets of modules at once.
Do not unload modules under the weather conditions of wind more than
6 class (in Beaufort scale), heavy rain or heavy snow.
2. Unloading with a forklift
The loading dock should be as the same height as the underside of the carrier.
The forklift should be driven at a controlled speed of ≤ 5 km/h in straight, and ≤ 3 km/h for turning,
so as to avoid sudden stop and rapid start.
Since the packing box will block the sight of the forklift driver, it is recommended to drive backwards
during the forklifting, and arrange for special supervision and command to prevent bumping into
people or items causing personal injury or damage to the modules.
