Rigging
Figure 4: Rigging warning
DANGER
Rigging and lifting should only be done by a professional rigger in accordance with a written rigging
and lifting plan. The most appropriate rigging and lifting method depends on job specific factors, such
as the rigging equipment available and site needs. A professional rigger must determine the rigging
and lifting method to be used. It is beyond the scope of this manual to specify rigging and lifting
details.
The complete standard chiller is shipped without skids. When optional skids are used it may be
necessary to remove the skids so riggers skates can be used under the unit end sheets to reduce
overall height.
Each unit has four lifting holes, two in each end, in the end sheets which should be used to lift the
unit.
Care should be taken at all times during rigging and handling of the chiller to avoid damage to the
unit and its external connections. Lift only using holes shown in Figure 5.
CAUTION
Do not lift the unit with slings around motor/compressor assembly or by means of eyebolts in the
tapped holes of the compressor motor assembly. Do not turn a unit on its side for rigging. Do not rig
vertically.
