Using a forklift
NOTICE
Risk of improper forklift handling. Can cause unit damage.
Keep the forklift tines level and at a height that will fit under the skid.
• Make sure the forks (if adjustable) are spread to the widest allowable distance to still fit under the skid.
• Type of forklift used will depend on the terrain the unit is to be moved across during handling.
• Minimum forklift fork length:
• for 1 fan and two fan units—48in (1219mm)
• for 3 fan and 4 fan units—72in. (1829mm)
• for 6 fan units—72 in. (1829 mm)
• for 8 fan units—96 in. (2438 mm)
• When moving the packaged unit, do not lift it any higher than 6in. (152mm). If the unit must be lifted higher
than 6-in. (152mm), you must exercise great care, and no one may be closer than 20ft(6m) to the lift point.
• We recommend lifting one end off the ground no more than 6in.(152mm)and using the forklift to push or pull
the unit.

Using a Crane
• We recommend using slings rated for the unit weight.
• Spreader bars must be used for sling stability and to keep the slings from pressing against the unit. Make sure
spreader bars are wider than the unit.
• Place the slings near the ends of the unit, under the top deck boards of the skid.
