A transport unit and a method for lifting such a transport unit

A transport unit comprising:

• a mineral wool plate package with at least two mineral wool plates, the mineral wool plate package having a top surface, a bottom surface and two opposed side surfaces, the side surfaces extending in a width and a height of the mineral wool plate package, and
• two separate feet positioned at a distance from each other, manufactured from an insulating material and arranged at the bottom surface, the feet forming ground supports adapted to carry and support the package when the transport unit is positioned on the ground, the feet in that position keeping the mineral wool plates at a distance from the ground such as to make it possible for a lifting device, such as a fork of a fork-lift, to be inserted between the feet to lift up the transport unit,
• wherein
• each foot comprises a lower part and an upper part, the lower part extending shorter towards the closer of the side surfaces such as to form a step between the lower part and the upper part, which step extends in the width direction of the mineral wool plate package to form a lifting strap space adapted to accommodate a respective lifting strap for lifting up the transport unit.
