2 Purpose
This Technical Instruction describes:
• the securing of Jenbacher Gas Engines during transport by truck;
• the lifting of Jenbacher Gas Engines and the correct use and maintenance of the load suspension
equipment (lifting device, chains, ropes, etc.);
• the location of transport safety pegs on the Jenbacher Gas Engines.

3 Additional information

Relevant documents:
EN 12195 – Load restraining on road vehicles – Safety
VDI 2700 – Load restraining on road vehicles

4 Securing the gas engine during transport by truck

4.1 Minimum requirements for the transport of gas engines (without accessories)
• Closed truck
• 12 lashing straps with at least LC 2,500 including edge protection
• 2 shackles with WLL 6.5 t, welded
• 2 anti-slip mats of 200 mm x 6,500 mm x 12 mm

4.2 Loading

4.2.1 General
Loading must be carried out by an experienced and trained loader holding all the necessary training
certificates. The loader in this context is the person operating the lifting equipment used to load the truck,
regardless of whether they are an employee of INNIO Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG or the carrier (truck
driver or person responsible for loading). The following are permissible for loading INNIO Jenbacher
GmbH & Co OG on to trucks:
• Forklift trucks with adequate lifting capacity, height and reach if permitted by the relevant Technical
Instruction for the engine type
• Mobile cranes
• Stationary cranes
When loading with this lifting equipment, all the work and safety instructions of the lifting equipment
manufacturer and those laid down by law must be observed. The loader must familiarise himself with
these in advance.

4.2.2 Lifting, moving and setting down

The instructions within this Technical Instruction must always be observed when lifting, moving and
setting down. Gas engines must be lifted carefully, and the permissible acceleration in the Z-direction
must not exceed 0.2 g. No movement in the X and Y directions is permissible when lifting. The load must
not be moved until lifting is completed.
When moving, pay strict attention to ensuring that no damage occurs to either the load or the truck, and
that no personal injury is suffered. The loader must make sure before the start of loading that the planned
load path is clear and there are no persons or objects obstructing the gas engine and lifting gear; this

must be continuously checked during loading. If this not possible for technical reasons or reasons to do
with the building, a loading assistant must be called in to monitor the area out of the loader's field of view
and to assist the loader by means of optical or acoustic signals. The load must be moved carefully; jerky
movements, speeds over 0.8 m/s (3 km/h, half walking pace) and longitudinal and transverse
accelerations of more than 0.1 g, e.g. when negotiating bends, must be avoided at all costs.
Make sure before setting down that anti-slip measures have been taken where the gas engine is to be
placed. Setting down itself must be carried out with extreme caution, and any impact on the gas engine or
transport equipment must be avoided. The maximum permissible acceleration in the Z-direction is 0.2 g;
horizontal movement is not permitted. It must also be ensured that, once set down, the frame sits flush on
the vehicle floor surface, and that the cargo cannot tip over, stands straight and has been positioned in
accordance with the instructions under "Positioning on the transport vehicle". If this is not the case, the
loading procedure (separated into horizontal and vertical procedures!) must be repeated until the
requirements are met in full. The loader is responsible for compliance.

4.2.3 Positioning on the transport vehicle

In longitudinal vehicle direction, the gas engine must be positioned in the middle of the load surface and
parallel to the vehicle longitudinal axis. In transverse vehicle direction, the cargo must be positioned in
such a manner that the axle loads are as even as possible; under no circumstances may the permissible
individual axle or wheel loads be exceeded. Make sure that there is sufficient clearance between the gas
engine and walls or tarpaulins so that no contact and resulting damage to the gas engine or the vehicle
can occur during transport, and access to the lashing points on the vehicle cargo floor is guaranteed.

4.3 Securing during transport

4.3.1 General
Jenbacher Engines must be secured during transport by truck in accordance with the regulations and
guidelines of EN 12195 and VDI 2700. Securing using friction-locking alone and combined friction and
positive locking are both permissible. The carrier is under an obligation to ensure that the driver assigned
is familiar with all the rules and regulations and has been trained in them. The appropriate lashing
equipment must be provided by the carrier and presented to the person responsible for despatch at
INNIO Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG before loading is commenced. The lashing equipment must be in good
condition, be completely undamaged and bear the manufacturer's test notice.

Lashing strap with test notice

Lashing equipment which is missing or does not comply with legal requirements will result in loading
being refused until the required equipment is presented. The complaint and resultant delay must be noted
in the delivery note. Any costs incurred by the delay or total refusal to load, including consequential costs,
shall be borne by the carrier. INNIO Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG further reserves the right to claim against
the carrier for any penalty payments resulting from late delivery of the gas engine to the customer, should
a justified refusal to load for the above reasons be the cause of the delayed delivery.

4.3.2 Anti-slip mats

To reduce the lashing forces, it is required to use anti-slip mats according to VDI 2700 Sheet 15 each
time INNIO Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG are transported. These will be provided by INNIO Jenbacher
GmbH & Co OG or its logistics partner with the relevant test certificate (see annex) to every carrier before
the start of loading.
The anti-slip mats must be positioned on the vehicle cargo floor (while observing the prohibition against
working under suspended loads!) so that the two longitudinal beams of the frame sit flush on the anti-slip
mats and no part of the gas engine is in direct contact with the vehicle cargo floor.

4.3.3 Lashing straps

Lashing straps with the following properties are prescribed for securing Jenbacher Engines:
• Lashing strap according to EN 12195-2
• Width at least 50 mm
• At least LC 2,500 daN
• SHF 50 daN
• STF 300 daN
• Preferably carabiner hook with safety latch
or
• Heavy-duty lashing strap according to EN 12195-2

 TA 1000-0034
Lifting and transporting Jenbacher gas engines
J420 B/C/E6xx

• Width at least 50 mm
• At least LC 5,000 daN
• Carabiner or triangle hook with safety latch

If a carabiner or triangle hook cannot be attached directly to the gas engine, suitable aids or intermediate
equipment such as shackles or heavy-duty carabiners must be used.

4.3.4 Lashing forces

The lashing provides a restraint against acceleration forces during transport. These generally result in
tipping around the longitudinal axis of the gas engine/vehicle due to the narrow support triangle, and
slipping in the longitudinal direction.

Support triangles in the longitudinal and transverse directions

The gas engine must be restrained in principle as shown in the figures below. The number and position of
the lashings will depend on the weight of the gas engine and the accessibility of the lashing points on the
gas engine.
Restraints must always run directly between the attachment point on the gas engine and the load bearing
point on the vehicle, i.e. the lashing strap must run in a straight line between these two points without
touching any other components. In particular, it must be ensured that no other components are subjected
to any forces from the restraints which could deform or damage them, and that no components can
deform during transport and result in the restraints becoming loose or undone.

4.4 Attachment points on the gas engine

The attachment points, their position on the gas engine and the correct position of the lashings are shown
in the figures below. The lashings must be checked before transport is approved and started.

4.5 Restraining the gas engine according to EN 12195/1-2011

The fundamental rule is:
• The gas engine must be restrained in backward direction (to prevent slipping forwards) with at least
80 % of the weight of the load.
• The gas engine must be restrained in forward direction (to prevent slipping backwards) with at least
50 % of the weight of the load.

• The gas engine must be restrained on the sides against shunting, including against movement due to
vertical force, with at least 50 % of the weight of the load, or with at least 60 % of the weight of the
load if there is a risk of tipping.

This is an exploratory test to determine the sliding friction coefficient and should not be used to calculate
the load restraint in practice.
The minimum requirements for friction coefficients according to VDI 2700, Sheet 15 (general) and Sheet
9 (especially for paper transport) apply to anti-slip mats. The Regupol® Anti-slip mats exceed these
minimum requirements by 15-50% depending on the material pairing. As external factors (such as
humidity, vehicle floor and soiled cargo floor) are difficult to calculate in practice, it is recommended to
use a friction coefficient of 0.6 µ as a value in calculating the load restraint (for dry and well-swept anti-slip
flooring).
