Rigging and Handling
75mm-diameter lifting holes, are provided on the unit base
frame.
ALL LIFTING POINTS in one axis of the unit must be used
when offloading and moving the unit.
Slings and spreader bars are to be provided
by the rigger and attached to ALL LIFTING
POINTS.
The minimum rated lifting capacity (vertical) of each sling
and spreader bar should be no less than the shipping
weight.
The unit must be lifted with care, avoiding shock load by
lifting the unit slowly and evenly.
Confirm that factory installed (if any) attachment brackets are
in place and screws are tight, before rigging. The unit will ship
either assembled or as sections. Before preparing the unit for
lifting, estimate the approximate center of gravity for lifting
safety. Because of placement of internal components, the unit
weight may be unevenly distributed, with more weight in the
coil and fan area. Always apply good rigging procedures when
lifting a unit. Before hoisting the unit into position, be sure that
a proper method of rigging is used, with straps or slings and
spreader bars for protection and safety during lifting. Always
test-lift the unit to determine exact unit balance and stability
before hoisting it to the installation location.
TRANE Quantum
TM
Air Handler are supplied in sections modules,
at packed, or as a complete unit, in accordance with the relevant
assembly drawings. Any necessary use of force during unloading
or movement of the units must only be applied via the unit base
frame or shipping pallet.
Rigging and Handling
A specific lifting method for offloading the units is
recommended as follows (See Figure 2) :

Off Loading
Moving to Position On site
NEVER ASSEMBLE OR BOLT SECTIONS OR
SUBASSEMBLIES TOGETHER BEFORE RIGGING.
ALWAYS RIG SECTIONS OR SUBASSEMBLIES AS
RECEIVED FROM THE FACTORY.
WARNING
DO NOT LIFT THE UNIT WITHOUT TEST-LIFT FOR
BALANCE AND RIGGING. DO NOT LIFT THE UNIT
ABOVE PERSONNEL. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE
WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY,
DEATH OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
WARNING
ENSURE SLINGS DO NOT FOUL ON UNIT
PROTRUSIONS.
THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY WILL VARY PER UNIT...
POSITION THE SLING AND SPREADER BARS
CAREFULLY TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS.
WARNING
NEVER LIFT THE UNITS BY COIL CONNECTIONS OR
BY ANY OTHER PROTRUSIONS.
THE ROOF IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE WALKED ON,
BUT IF THIS IS UNAVOIDABLE, ENSURE A MORE
EVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION BY THE USE OF
BOARDS.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING
Heavy Objects!
Ensure that all the lifting equipment used is properly
rated for the weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the
cables (chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to
lift the unit must be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings) may
not be of the same length. Adjust as necessary for
even unit lift. Other lifting arrangement could cause
equipment or property damage. Failure to follow
instructions above or properly lift the unit could result
in unit dropping and possibly crushing
operator/technician which could result in death or
serious injury.
