2.1 Loading and transport
Airhandlingunitsmaybedeliveredasasinglecompactpackage(shipmentunit)orinseveralcompactpackages
(shipment units) to be assembled on site. They are delivered on transport pallets or on base frames. Loading, unloading
andmovingshipmentunitsonsitemaybecarriedoutwithaforkliftoracrane,byapplyingappropriatehoistingslings.
 Individualcompactpackages(shipmentunits)orthepartsthereofmustbeprotectedsoastopreventdamage
thereto during unloading or transport due to tipping over, sliding or uncontrolled drops from the transport vehicle, and to
prevent threats to the safety and health of exposed persons.
 Onsite,individualcompactpackagesorassembliesoftheairhandlingunitshouldbemovedtothemounting
site with all the necessary guards and protection devices (stabilisers along diagonals, wooden supports or transport
pallets under the base frame, protection foils, etc.).
Caution
Movement of the equipment during transport can only be carried out via the bottom base frame and
transport pallet, without applying any pressure on the casing.
Unloading and moving with a forklift
Theforkliftforksmustbelongenoughtoavoiddamagetothebottomsurfaceoftheshipmentunitandtopreventthe
shipmentunitfromfallingofftheforks.Inthecaseofshipmentunitswithbaseframes,theforksmustextendfromthe
frontsidetothebacksideoftheframesection.
Inthecaseofshipmentunitswithoutbaseframesbutmountedontransportpallets,theforksmustextendlongenough
beyondtheunit’scentreofgravitytopreventtheriskoftheunitfallingofftheforks.
Unloading and hoisting with a crane
A compact shipment unit of an air handling unit may only be hoisted with a crane applying a base frame or a transport
pallet positioned under the unit.
Appropriatehoistingbeamswithsufcientdistancebetweenthehoistingpointsshouldbeusedsoastopreventthe
hoisting slings from damaging the casing, the gutter or the handles, hinges, piping connections or other accessories
(pressure gauges, pressure transducers, etc.) on the service side, or the electric control cabinet.
