Rule for transporting robots

No. Procedure
1 Prepare robot for transportation
2 Option 1 - Lift robot by fork pockets
3 Option 2 - Lift robot by base with forklift
4 Option 3 - Lift robot by base with jib or crane
5 Transport offsite
6 Disposing of robot
Key Point
(1) Teach robot to shipping position prior to disconnecting
power.
(2) Remove any end effector that causes interference or
significantly alters center of gravity.
(3) Remove utilites and confirm by air gap
(1) Enter fork pockets with forks
(2) Lash robot to forklift mast
(3) Clear area of personnel within the fall zone
(4) Confirm fork ends protrude through pocket, tilt forks
back slightly and proceed with transportation
(1) Place fork beneath robot base as near the mast as
possible
(2) Robot must be secured to the forks and mast by certified
rigger before lifting
(3) Clear area of personnel within the fall zone
(4) Confirm the load is secure, lift and transport
(1) JSA with lift plan must be reviewed and approved.
(2) Jib must be lashed to mast of forklift
(3) Rig utilizing 4 points; I-bolts in the fork pocket mounting
holes using certified rigger
(4) Confirm overhead clearance, lift and transport
(1) Loads over 13'6'' not permitted without proper
permitting
(2) Robot bases greater than 500mm must be removed to
prevent tipping
(3) DOT requires 4 anchor points per load. Chains and
binders are strongly recommened
(4) Driver must posses CDL
(1) Roll off dumpster is preferred method when transported
by fork pocket.
(2) Flatbed truck must be used when fork pockets not
available
