Responsibilities
Site Preparation
Responsibilities
This section details the responsibilities of both the customer and MTS to ensure
that the proposed testing area is suitable for the installation and operation of the
testing system.
Customer's Responsibilities
It is the customers’ responsibility to ensure that all required support services are
available, and that all necessary checks are made prior to installing the testing
system. These services and checks are described below.
Site Preparation
Proper site preparation is imperative so that the test system operates in
accordance with its specifications and provides accurate test results. The
customer must ensure that the site requirements are satisfied prior to scheduling
the installation appointment.
Handling and Transporting
Unless specifically arranged otherwise, it is the customers’ responsibility to
arrange the off-loading, unpacking, and moving of the test system to the final site
location. Refer to
“Lifting and Moving Instructions” on page 23 for details on
handling and transporting your system to its final location.
Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer can supervise the off-
loading and transportation of the load frame to its final site. Contact MTS’
service department or your local MTS office for additional information on this
service.
Note The customer needs to suply equipments, such as hoist rings, straps and
tools.
Insurance and Safety
Under MTS’ standard contract, the shipping terms are Ex-Works (or FOB
Factory), meaning ownership and liability for the test system transfers to the
customer at MTS’ loading dock. Unless other shipping terms are specified in a
purchase order, which MTS does not dispute, the Ex-Works shipping terms
apply. Under these terms, the customer is responsible for securing the applicable
transit insurance on the shipment and arranging safe transport to the final
destination. Arrangements can be made through MTS to secure insurance cover
and shipping, at the customer's expense.
When transporting a load frame within your own premises, you are responsible
for its safe transport. Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer can
supervise the transportation to the load frame's final site. Contact MTS’
Professional Services department or your local MTS office for additional
information on this service.
