German term

Abscheren mit Hubwagen

German to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping Safety Cabinet Operating Instructions
"Ein Beschädigen der Stellfüße, durch ***Abscheren mit Hubwagen***, o. ä. und ein Verkanten beim Aufnehmen für den Transport ist unbedingt zu vermeiden. Durch ein Verkanten sind Beschädigungen möglich, die die Funktionen der eingebauten Sicherheitstechniken einschränken bzw. zerstören."

It's those Stellfüße again. Forgive me if this seems like a silly question, but can you cut or shear something off with a forklift? Otherwise, what are they getting at here? TIA for your help.

shearing off with a lift truck/forklift/pallet truck

Yes, the tines of the forklift can shear the mounts off.

Imagine the tines of a forklift being driven between the pallet/skid and the cabinet rather than under the pallet where it belongs. If the tines are pushed into the mounts, they will shear them off.

agree Nathan Hanika (X) : Agree with Kim. To Robert: The panel is meant to be lifted without a pallet IMO, as a previous question makes it clearer.
