I´m asking about the Fokker F28 cargo.
Meanwhile I´m waiting for the maintenance manuals I forward my question. Is there any limitation to move the aircraft with the large left forward cargo door removed?

Thank you in advance.

i'm guessing that you've got a freighter conversion, with a large fwd cargo door. i would expect that door to react shear. by "move" i expect you mean taxi. in all likelihood i'd expect that there would be little chance of permanent deformation even with a large opening like i think you have. i doubt it'd be considered normal practice, and you should be very careful (move slowly, no bumps or ramps). shoring up the opening, with diagonal braces, would improve the situation plenty.
 
You are guessing right rb1957, and I agree with you about the permanent deformation. It would be towed with a Hobart.
Thank you for your advices.
