Forklifting the Unit (6-25 and 30 ton)
6-25 and 30 ton units can be lifted using a
forklift. 9, 11-25 and 30 ton units must have
forks 72” in length or the forks must have 72”
fork extensions. 6-8 and 10 ton units must
have forks at least 48” in length. Standard
units can be lifted from all sides except the
condenser side. Units with power exhaust can
be lifted from the controls side or the access
(right) side. Units with energy recovery
wheels or power return can only be fork lifted
from the access (right) side.
Forks must be perpendicular to the unit and
they must be in far enough that the back of
the forks are no more than 6” away from the
edge of the unit.

Lifting the Unit
If cables or chains are used to hoist the unit
they must be the same length. Minimum
cable length is 99” for 6-25 and 30 ton units
and 180” for 26 and 31-50, 60 and 70 ton
units. Spreader bars are required for 55, 65
and 75-140 ton units. Care must be taken to
prevent damage to the cabinet, coils, and
condenser fans.
It is recommended to lift the unit with the
outside air hood in the downward shipping
position. However, the unit may be lifted
with the outside air hood in the open position.
Before lifting unit, be sure that all shipping
material has been removed from unit. Secure
