General Handling
Information
• Approximate weights: 2300…13,600 kg (5000…30,000 lb).
• Rockwell Automation strongly recommends using professional riggers
with suitable rated lifting equipment to move the drive to its final
installation site.
• Have qualified professionals inspect all lifting equipment.
• Keep the drive in an upright position. Some units are top-heavy and can
fall over if tilted.
• Install the drive on a level (+/- 1 mm per meter [+/- 0.036 in. per 36 in.] of
drive length in all directions) floor. Use metal shims if necessary.
• Be aware the cabinets are not rigid structures. Avoid torquing or twisting
the cabinets while siting the drives or joining shipping splits.
• Only use fasteners with a minimum metric Grade 10.9 (SAE Grade 8)
strength. Rockwell Automation strongly recommends using Crosby bolt-
type shackles.
• Close and secure all drive doors before moving the equipment.
ATTENTION: This document applies ONLY to physically moving and siting the
drive cabinetry. For procedures involving joining cabinets and cabling, as well as
electrical installation and grounding requirements, refer to the correct
Installation Manual for your PowerFlex™ 7000 drive.
WARNING: Never attempt to lift or move the drive by any means other than the
handling methods listed in this publication. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury or death, damage to the drive, and potential economic loss.
