Rigging, Lifting, and Moving the
Chiller
The Trane Packaged TCAA chiller can be delivered to the
customers site as individual units. Limitations on the
methods and materials that can be used to rig, lift, or move
a chiller include:
• Maintain the chiller in an upright position at all times.
• Certain configurations of chillers can be top-heavy.
Move chillers slowly with consideration for each unit
center-of-gravity.
• Rig, lift, and move by strapping and lifting using a
properly configured floor jack or fork lift or by overhead
means.
• Position lifting beams or spreader beams to prevent
lifting straps from rubbing or contacting the chiller side
panels or electrical boxes.
• Do not use cables, chains, or any other type of
metalized strapping to lift a unit.
• Do not push a chiller while directly in contact with the
floor using manual or mechanical means.
• Reference rigging connection diagram provided with
the unit.

Mounting Application
Considerations
Trane does not require neoprene pads or spring isolators
on the TCAA chiller. The Danfoss Turbocor® compressors
and the Electrically Commutated Motors (ECM) used for
the condenser fans have very low vibration characteristics.
If the structural engineer requires neoprene pads or spring
isolators for some reason, this is acceptable to Trane, but
not a requirement.
In the event that an engineer or customer insists on
springs, the Trane guidance is to point load the chillers on
springs sized properly for the weights in the submittal.
The preferred method of support is along the full perimeter
or at least along the entire length of the unit. Point loading
is an option when necessary and the factory load points in
the submittal.
