Introduction
Transport (i.e. transfer of the machine from one place to
another) and handling (i.e. transfer inside workplaces)
must occur with the use of appropriate and adequate
means.
The machine can be transported by road, rail, sea or
air. Except for transport by road, the machine is placed
inside a container in which there are also other machines.
The machines can be placed inside the container by the
Manufacturer or by the forwarder.
ATTENTION!
Given the size of the machine, during
transport only one machine can be
stacked on top of another, which
eliminates any risk of tipping of loads
due to stacking.
The Manufacturer declines any liability for possible
damage to the packages and the machine.
On receiving the machine, check that the packages
and components are not damaged. In case of
damage, immediately notify the carrier and inform the
Manufacturer.
If the appliance received has visible or hidden damage,
a claim can be made with the forwarder.
Visible leaks or damage must be reported in the transport
document at the time of delivery. The transport document
must be signed by the forwarder's representative
(e.g. driver). If the transport document is not signed, the
forwarder can reject the claim.
A request for inspection must be made to the forwarder
within 15 days in case of hidden damage or losses
detected only after unpacking the appliance.
The forwarder will arrange an inspection. Keep all the
contents and packing material. Under no circumstances
should a damaged appliance be returned to the
manufacturer without prior notice and written permission.
The machine must only be transported, handled and
stored by qualified personnel, who must:
• Have specific technical training and experience;
• Be familiar with the safety regulations and applicable
laws in the relevant sector;
• Be familiar with the general safety rules;
• Be able to recognise and avoid any possible hazard;
The Manufacturer declines any liability whenever
transport is undertaken by carriers chosen by the
Customer.

adequate instruction and training on
the use of lifting systems and the use of
personal protection equipment suitable
for the type of operation carried out
(e.g. overalls, safety shoes, gloves
and helmet).
D1.1
Transport: instructions for the carrier
During the journey the tightness of the fixing systems
must be checked several times, and in particular:
• A few km after the start of the journey;
• In case of sudden temperature changes;
• In case of intense cold;
• In case of particularly rough roads;
When removing the anchoring systems, make sure the
stability of the machine's parts does not depend on the
anchoring and, therefore, that this operation does not
cause the load to fall off the vehicle.
ATTENTION!
Do not stand under suspended loads
during loading/unloading operations.
Unauthorised personnel must not enter
the work area.
ATTENTION!
The machine's weight alone is not
sufficient to keep it steady.
The transported load can shift:
•
When braking;
•
When accelerating;
•
In corners;
•
On rough roads;
If slings in synthetic fibre are used to secure the
machine, protect them against rubbing, abrasion and
damage caused by any sharp edges of the load. If there
are sharp edges that can damage the sling, use suitable
corner protectors or sliding tubes.
ATTENTION!
When removing the anchoring systems,
make sure the stability of the machine's
parts does not depend on the anchoring
and, therefore, that this operation does
not cause the load to fall off the vehicle.
Before unloading the machine's parts
make sure all the anchoring systems
are removed.
