EN
The RAUSIKKO Boxes are supplied stacked and strapped.
The stack can be unloaded using a forklift or wheel loader. To unload the
Boxes the forklift fork is inserted into the bottom Box of the stack.
Unloading shall be carried out with care. The stack must not be knocked
over or dropped.
Unloading RAUSIKKO Boxes
The stack height should not exceed 2.7m. The maximum permissible time for
storing the boxes outside is one year.
Boxes are to be stored in such a way that they are protected from direct
sunlight (stored in the shade or covered with a light geotextile fabric, where
it is to be ensured that no heat builds up underneath the cover. If this is not
possible the sub-surface installation should only take place once the Boxes
have cooled to ambient temperature (if necessary on the morning of the next
day). If frost is present and at low temperatures the impact resistance of the
material is reduced.
The storage elements are to be checked for damage before installation.
Damaged elements must not be installed.

inliners must not be installed.
The RAUSIKKO Boxes can be stored
outside. They are to be placed on a
