10. HANDLING - TRANSPORT
10.1. HANDLING
CTK-series containers are equipped with handles for lifting. They can also be lifted, laden or not, exclusively via trans-pallets or forklift with
forks completely inserted into the trucks.
Pay attention to the effects of repeated rubbing produced by the forks at the bottom of the container because usury, over
time, could lead to structural weakening and impair the grip.
It is therefore important to carefully use lifting equipment, and periodically check the bottom of the container.
The HIPPOTANK
is equipped with the following attachment points for lifting:
®
– n° 2 holes on the upper collar, only for vacuum lifting through belts or chains
– n° 2 tubular metal inserts with base, for both vacuum and load lifting either from the bottom or through forks (forklifts) or from above by
means of belts passing through the inserts.
Lifting by different means or hooking the GIR/IBC in points other than those expressly provided for and highlighted with
appropriate pictograms are not allowed.
10.2. STACKING
For GIR/IBC subject of this manual stacking during transport is not possible.
As regards the storage phase, different rules apply depending on the model of the tank:
– for CTK tanks, the superimposition of max n. 1 laden contained and n. 3 empty containers;
– for HIPPOTANK
reservoirs, there is no possibility of stacking.

10.3. ROAD TRANSPORT
Under ADR, IBCs / IBC can be classified as a simple parcel of dangerous goods and therefore it is not required any kind of
approval of the vehicle ADR (see circ.) MOT – B058 of 18/06/99).
The following requirements must be met anyway:
– The GIR/IBC shall correspond to the requirements of ADR concerning labelling and indication of load (see chap. 8 Plates and Instructions).
– The transport of the GIR/IBC is not admitted in case of detected dangerous material losses or visible damage to the structure and/or
equipment of the GIR/IBC.
– The GIR/IBC must be kept clean, free of residue of hazardous material adhering to its exterior.
– GIR/IBC cap vent must be kept perfectly free from interference of any sort with other parts of the load or anything that could prevent
proper operation. For HIPPOTANK-only, during operation the bolt securing bracket should be closed.
– Avoid the presence on the vehicle's loading area, with rags or other inflammable objects.
– The shut-off valves should be kept closed during transport.
– Please remember that, under the existing rules of the road, no overload tolerance can be applied on the transport of dangerous
goods further to the payload allowed and stated on the registration certificate.
The GIR/ IBC represents a considerable concentrated load, especially in relation to the payload of light trucks, and therefore
its placement too forward or too backward on the loading floor can determine abnormal overloads on the axes, impacting
negatively on the running safety with regards to tires, braking and road holding.
Then, check always the absence of overload, and be careful not to exceed the individual maximum authorised masses on
individual axes.
– We recommend a prudent and cautious driving especially in the case of partial loads, since fluctuations in liquid, although partially
limited by particular internal geometry of the GIR/IBC, may negatively affect the road holding of the vehicle.
– The vehicle should have fire extinguishers, in number and capacity compliant with ADR (see also chap. 15).
