loading platform trolley if available.
(To load and unload the machine from the
transportation means, select a flat area providing
a firm support to the trailer or truck wheels. Firmly
tie the machine to the truck or trailer platform and
block wheels as required by the forwarder.
(For electrical heaters, battery-chargers and
