Transportation and Handling

Rod or Pipe Rollers

This method is only suitable when there are no inclines and the controller is
being moved on level floor. Boards 50 x 152 mm (2 x 6”) or equivalent and at
least 300 mm longer than the controller must be placed under the shipping skid,
as shown in

Figure 3

.

Carefully ease the shipping skid over the rollers until the equipment weight is
borne on the rollers. The controller can be rolled to its desired location. Steady
the load to prevent tipping.

Fork Lift Truck

A single fork lift truck may be used, extreme caution must be exercised.

1. Insert the forks into openings of the shipping skid from the rear of the

controller.

2. Carefully balance the controller on the forks and apply safety straps.

Shipping Skid Removal

Internal access is not required to remove the wooden shipping skid from the
converter cabinet. External angle brackets attached to the enclosure are used to
attach the enclosure to the wooden skid.

Remove the angle brackets and the associated hardware. When the enclosure is
lifted by overhead means, the wooden skid can be removed.

ATTENTION: Ensure that the load rating of all lifting equipment is sufficient to
safely raise the controller sections. Refer to the packing slip for shipping
weights.
