5 Moving the VLM
Mobile products of Bredenoord are often moved and are therefore usually equipped with a lifting eye and forklift
beams. Check before moving if customer cables are disconnected, that all doors are closed and the Light
Tower can be moved safely.
Never move under a lifted genset! Never work on a lifted genset!
Always check if the crane or forklift is suitable to lift the weight. The weight of the genset can be
found in the technical data.
Moving by means of the lifting eye (if applicable)
The Light Tower can be lifted by means of the lifting eye with a chain and a suitable crane. Never attach the
chain directly to the lifting eye due to damage but use a closable hook.
Lifting eye (if applicable)
Use only approved lifting equipment and check the lifting eye and lifting equipment for damage.
Moving by means of a forklift
When moving the Light Tower by means of a forklift it’s important to keep the Light Tower as straight as
possible to prevent falling from the lifting forks.
