Compulsory Regulatory Checks - Tractel PalTurn Notice D'utilisation

Lifting points (Option)
Loads can be lifted attached to lifting points – fixed or adjustable –
on the turner bar, without laying PalTurn™ down. Accessories

removed for turning over.
These points loading constraints are identical to descriptions on
