Figure 3 Approximate Weights
Insert lifting bars through the four holes in the mounting skid. The placement of the holes maintains balance during lifting.
Figure 4 Typical Enclosure with Lifting Holes
Follow these general precautions when lifting all generator sets and related equipment.
• Install proper size rigging at the skid lifting eyes providing a direct pull on the skid lifting eye. Make sure the rigging
does not work as a pry bar lever against the lifting eye.
• DO NOT lift the generator set using the lifting eyes attached to the engine and/or alternator as these lifting eyes cannot
support the total weight of the generator set.
• DO NOT attach hoisting equipment to the enclosure. Insert lifting bars through the four holes in the mounting skid.
• Always protect cables, chains, and straps from sharp edges.
• Use a spreader bar to prevent lifting cables from contacting the enclosure.
• Lifting should only be conducted by those trained and experienced in lifting and rigging to achieve a safe and effective
lift. Consideration needs to be given to, but not necessarily limited to the following items:
o Weight and center of gravity of the equipment being lifted
o Weight and center of gravity of the lifting device
o Boom angles
o Selection of rated rigging
o Stability of lifting foundation
o Wind and weather conditions
o Local or regional codes that may require or restrict types of rigging.
