Unloading instructions
Initially the Spiral Elevator should be removed from the delivery vehicle by
lifting the Spiral Elevator complete with any pallet base and / or packing
materials.
Before starting unloading, all fastening means (securing belts, screws, etc.)
that secure the Spiral Elevator onto the transport vehicle must be removed.
It is preferable to move the Spiral Elevator complete with any pallet base
and / or packing materials to an area near to the final position and then
unload the spiral elevator and place it directly on the floor whilst taking care
not to cause any damage to the painted surfaces.
The Spiral Elevator may be delivered horizontally or vertically dependent
on the dimensions.
If the Spiral Elevator is delivered vertically it can be lifted using a ForkLift
truck under the base frame or by using a sling and suitable eye bolt in the
top of the central column.
If the Spiral Elevator is delivered horizontally, it can be lifted using a ForkLift
truck with forks spaced wide apart and inserted under the horizontal central
column. Soft packing should be used between the forks and the central
column to avoid damage and marking. Care must be taken to avoid the
Spiral Elevator rolling whilst on the forks. Alternatively slings can be used
and attached to two positions around the central column.
