3.2.2 Unloading off Pallet
There are a few methods for unloading the switchboard splits off the pallet and into the proper installation location. Both
lifting methods are applicable for type 1A and type 3R switchboards. The recommended way is by use of lifting bars, lifting
jacks, and lifting skates see section Method 1 on the facing page . The other method uses lifting bars, lifting straps or chains,
and a spreader with a forklift or crane see section Method 2a on page16 and Method 2b on page17 .
NOTE: Vertiv does not provide bars, jacks, skates, straps or spreaders. It is the customers responsibility to purchase
or rent the correctly rated equipment needed to move the panel splits.
The switchboards also need to be unbolted from the pallet first before lifting the panel. There are holes within the plinth of
each panel that allows for a steel bar to go through. The bar is used for lifting the switchboard. A bar of 2 in. diameter and 96
in. length should be used.
