Packaging, Transportation, Storage, Disposal 3
3.1 Packaging
If there are no specific customer requirements in this regard, one-way packaging will be used for
shipping WANGEN progressing cavity pumps. Examine the shipment immediately upon receipt for
any transportation damage. If any such damage is found, immediately inform the shipping and
forwarding company. Damaged products must not be taken into service.
3.2 Transportation
By an incorrect transport the pump can fall down or upset.
Possible dangerous situation: Severe or fatal injuries.
Only use lifting gear and load lifting facilities with sufficient load carrying capacity for
loading / unloading!
Lift pumps only by load handling attachment (chains, tightropes) (see following pictures).
3.2.1 Transport of horizontal pumps
Please note that some drive units may cause pump assemblies to be very top-heavy.
Never use the eyebolts of the drive unit to lift the entire assembly. These attachment
points are to be used only for the engine and/or transmission!
