- For on- and offloading from a truck, the fire trainer is equipped with four LIFTING HOOKS.
- Due to its construction, the fire trainer may only be lifted on these hooks with ropes/chains, or on a flatbed.
- When the fire trainer is lifted to higher elevations than the truck, a flatbed shall be used.
- The ropes/chains have to be provided by the crane operator and shall be fastened to the lifting hooks fitted at the top of the fire trainer.
