Chapter 2 Receiving, Handling, and Storage
Handling Two methods of handling larger and heavier PowerFlex 755TS products within
the receiving facility are acceptable.
• Transport by lift truck
• Overhead lifting (crane or hoist)
The following guidelines are provided to help avoid personal injury and
equipment damage during handling and to help stabilize the product during
transport to the installation site.
• Keep large product frame sizes bolted to the shipping skid to minimize
possibility of shifting during transport.
• Handle the PowerFlex 755TS product carefully to avoid damage to the
enclosure.
• Before moving the product, verify that the route is clear of obstructions.
Transport by Lift Truck
PowerFlex 755TS frames 6 and 7 are bolted to shipping skids that facilitate
transport by a lift truck. If you are using a lift truck, refer to the following
procedure.
1. Lift only from underneath the shipping skid. Position the PowerFlex
755TS product on the forks so that the load is balanced.
2. Keep the load against the load backrest of the lift truck. Use a belt to
secure the PowerFlex 755TS product to the lift truck. Tilt the load a few
degrees backward toward the lift truck mast.
3. Start and stop the lift truck gradually and slowly to avoid jerky
movements. When traveling with the load, drive slowly with the forks
carried as low as possible, consistent with safe operation.
ATTENTION: Follow local codes and guidelines and your company safety
procedures when you handle PowerFlex 755TS products.
To avoid personal injury and structural damage to the PowerFlex 755TS
product, do not lift or move the equipment by any means other than what is
described in this publication.
ATTENTION: Verify that the lift truck can handle the weight and size of the
PowerFlex 755TS product safely. Shipment weights can be found on the
packing slip that is included with each shipment. Approximate weights are
listed on page 18
.
IMPORTANT The use of a belt is to help prevent the load from slipping
forward during a sudden stop. Do not excessively tighten the
belt.
