ModMAG M1000 - Rigging, Lifting, and Moving Large Units; Safe Lifting Practices

Rigging, Lifting and Moving Large Units
WHEN RIGGING, LIFTING OR MOVING LARGE UNITS, FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
ATTENTION
POUR LE GRÉEMENT, DU LEVAGE OU DU DÉPLACEMENT D'UNITÉS DE GRANDE TAILLE, VEUILLEZ SUIVRE CES
INSTRUCTIONS :
• DO NOT lift or move a meter by its amplifier, junction box, detector neck,
orcables.
• Use a crane rigged with soft straps to lift and move meters with flow tubes
that are 2…8 in. (50…200 mm). Place the straps around the detector body,
between the flanges, on each side of the detector.
• Use lifting lugs when lifting meter flow tubes that are 5.91 inches (150 mm) in
diameter or larger.
®
Place straps between flanges.
Figure 3: Rigging Large Units
• Use the sling-rigged method to lift large detectors into a vertical position
while they are still crated. Use this method to position large detectors
vertically into pipelines.
Figure 4: Sling-Rigged Lifting Methods
• Do not lift a detector with a forklift by positioning the detector body on the forks, with the flanges extending beyond the
lift. This could dent the housing or damage the internal coil assemblies.
• Never place forklift forks, rigging chains, straps, slings, hooks or other lifting devices inside or through the detector's flow
tube to hoist the unit. This could damage the isolating liner.
• Do not lift meter with a fork lift on the jacket sheet. This could damage the body.
Do not lift detector with forklift Do not lift or rig lifting devices through detector
