Preparation
Shipment Manifest
Refer to Figure 2
The planter components are delivered in one or more
standard ISO intermodal shipping containers, typically a
single “40-Foot High-Cube”.
Have a copy of the shipment manifest, invoice or
purchase order available. The assemblers need a list of
planter serial numbers, and documentation of the
configuration of each planter (options and accessories).
Once the contents have been removed, the containers
are returned to commerce. Before releasing the
container(s), verify that the planters are the correct
models and row-spacings, and have all specified options.
Inside the containers, the planter components are on
unpainted steel racks. Major sub-assemblies are secured
to rack tubing. Smaller sub-assemblies, cartons, bags,
and loose components may be on the rack floors, on
pallets or inside hoppers.
After the planter is assembled, the racks, crates, pallets,
and most fasteners used to secure components to the
racks, are not returned to Great Plains. They may be
salvaged or scrapped.
Work Area
Container Unload Clearance
Refer to Figure 3
The longest rack in the container is 7.4m. Spot the
container to allow for the length of the container, the
longest rack, and the forklift or tug used to remove and
reposition the racks.
Planter Assembly and Test Clearance
Refer to Figure 4
Designate a space for planter assembly (which begins
with the cart mainframe). Allow for forklift access from
any direction, and final tractor hitching. Allow for forklift
and tractor turns.
Whether or not the planter has markers, allow for at least
4 m beyond the unfolded wings for lift access.
