Rigging and Handling
Confirm that factory installed (if any)
attachment brackets are in place and
screws 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. Approximate unit weights
are given in Appendix A & B.
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.
WARNING
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.
(See Appendix A & B for components
weight).
Off Loading
A specific lifting method for offloading
the units is recommended as follows
(See Figure 2):
1. 75mm-diameter lifting holes,or
certified lifting lugs, are provided on
the unit base frame.
2. ALL LIFTING POINTS in one axis of
the unit must be used when
offloading and moving the unit.
3. Slings and speader bars are to be
provided by the rigger and attached
to ALL LIFTING POINTS.
4. The minimum rated lifting capacity
(vertical) of each sling and spreader
bar should be no less than the
shipping weight.
5. The unit must be lifted with care,
avoiding shock load by lifting the unit
slowly and evenly.
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.
Moving To Position On Site
TRANE QuantumTM Air Handler are
supplied in sections modules, flat
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.
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.
Forklift Trucks
The forks must only be applied under
the unit base frame and not against
the unit base frame. The lift point
should be as near as possible to the
centre of gravity (see Figures 3 and 4).
In the case of larger units the use of
several forklift trucks may be required.
Roller Movement
Units fitted with base frames may be
moved on roller trolley or tubular rollers
(see Figure 5).
