2.1 Recommendations for lifting heavy meters
Heavy meters (those over 50 lb. [22 kg]), and even lighter meters that must be installed in
elevated or difficult-to-reach places, usually require additional consideration when
transporting or lifting them into their installation location.
• Safe handling during transportation and installation is the responsibility of the
installer – know and follow all safety practices and regulations for your facility and
for any lifting/rigging equipment being used
• A professional rigging crew with proper equipment should be used
• Typical equipment for handling heavy meters includes the following:
- Fixed hoist boom trucks or cranes
- Continuous web belt slings
- Eye to eye web belt slings
- Two leg wire rope slings
• Lift a meter by its case.
• Do not lift a meter by its electronics (junction box, transmitter, or any electrical
fittings) or by its purge fittings
• It may be useful to identify the meter center of gravity
• Protect the sealing surfaces on the process fittings with factory-installed flange
protectors or comparable field-installed protection
