3.5.3.1 Crane Transport and Lifting
WARNING
HEAVY LOAD!
Unbalanced loads can fall and loads can tip over. Failure to take proper lifting precautions increases risk of death,
serious injury, or equipment damage.
•
Never walk under suspended loads and wear personal protective equipment.
•
Make sure to use lifting devices with the appropriate rating. The lifting bar must be able to handle the weight
of the unit.
•
The center of gravity can be in an unexpected area. If that is not observed, the unit can fall over or tilt
unexpectedly during lifting and transport. Check the center of gravity, before lifting the load. Refer to
Illustration 5.1, Illustration 5.2, and Illustration 5.3.
•
Secure cabinets by suitable means to prevent them from tipping over, particularly during transportation.
•
When using a pedestal/plinth or Flex-Block system during transportation, lifting, and setting down, ensure that
the load is always resting on the pedestal/plinth corner pieces and never on the base/plinth trim panels.
•
The angle from the top of the enclosure to the lifting cables has an impact on the maximum load force on the
cable. The angle must be 60° or greater. Attach and dimension the lifting cables properly. Refer to
Illustration 3.2.
F: Weight force
Left: Central lifting cable transport (Full weight force on central lifting cable)
Right: 4-corner lifting cable transport (1/4 of the weight force on each of the lifting cables)
