INSTALLATION, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Crane handling
MCC sections are equipped with lifting angles to
enable unloading and positioning using a crane.
Do not fasten any lifting device directly to the
vertical sections. Lift only using the lifting angles.
You can remove the lifting angles after the section
is in position. If removed, replace the bolts.
The optimal lifting rope angle at the crane hook
is 45°. The maximum rope loading is reduced for
larger rope angles, as shown in Fig. 19.
Use only slings and rigging hardware that comply
with the applicable sections of ASME B30.20,
ASME B30.26 and ASME B30.9.
