Handling using a lifting or fork-lift truck.
The contactor can be lifted using a lifting truck or
a fork-lift truck.
The following precautions must be taken during
contactor handling:
1. Keep the contactor in the upright position.
2. Make sure that the load is balanced on the truck
or on the transport plate/pallet.
3. Interpose protective material between the
contactor and the truck to avoid any damage
or scratches.
4. Fix the contactor onto the truck or onto the
transport plate/pallet to prevent it moving or
tilting over.

or sharp changes in direction during contactor
handling.

obstacles on the floor.
