+10 %, when using a forklift. Only lift from the middle of the unit at the center of gravity supported by the
pallet. For safe lifting, the forks must be longer than 2.5 m and fully inserted under the unit. Position the forks
to the maximum width over the area supported by the pallet. Only lift an empty unit.

Warning:
Before lifting the unit, check its weight from the transport documents or from
the product nameplate and make sure that the lifting device, crane or truck is
appropriate.

2. Ensure that the belts or slings with hooks used for lifting keep the equipment
balanced.
3. Do not lift the unit with a crane before removing the pallet from under the unit.
Do not stand under the unit when it is hanging.
Caution: Air cooled heat exchangers are fragile products, which makes them extremely sensitive
to incorrect handling during transport and positioning. Comply with the given instructions strictly to
prevent the heat exchanger from being damaged during the lifting procedure.
Only qualified personnel using approved lifting equipment is allowed to carry out lifting operations.
When lifting the unit, use all lifting points in the direction of lifting. Do not mix the lifting points of
