4.2 Handling the Unit while Packaged
If possible, transport the unit with a forklift or pallet jack. If that is not possible, use a crane with slings and
spreader bars that are rated for the weight of the unit.
When using a forklift or pallet jack:
• Ensure that the fork length is suitable for the unit length and, if adjustable, spread to the
widest allowable distance that will fit under the skid.
• When moving the packaged unit, lift the unit from the "HEAVY SIDE" of the unit, and do not lift
the unit any higher than 6in.(152mm). All personnel except those moving the unit must be
kept or more from the unit while it is being moved.
• If the unit must be lifted higher than 6in.(152mm), all personnel not directly involved in
moving the unit must be 20ft (5m) or farther from the unit.
• Always refer to the location of the center-of-gravity indicators when lifting the unit, see Figure
4.1 below.
