Caterpillar ® have noted instances, where dealer transportation ratchets the unit down using straps onto the truck for secure transport. The ratcheting may cause the roofs to bend under the tension of the straps. To prevent further damage to the enclosure roof (as shown in Illustration 1 and 2), Caterpillar ® is requesting that all transportation carriers use chains to secure the base of the generator set units to the transportation vehicle.
