Chapter 2 Transportation and Handling Procedures
Rigging Contractor Rockwell Automation strongly recommends that you contract professional
riggers with suitably-rated lifting equipment to move the drive to its final
installation site.
Overhead Lifting
1. Use shackles in the holes of the lifting angles and use safety hooks in the
shackles ( Figure 11 ). Do not pass slings or cables through the holes of the
lifting angles. Use only 38 mm (1.5 in.) diameter holes for shackles.

ATTENTION: Do not lift or move the drive by any means other than the
handling methods listed in this publication. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
IMPORTANT For the largest direct-to-drive VFDs, the common mode chokes (CMCs) are
relatively heavy (5000 lb/2267 kg). To ease handling of the VFD enclosure, the
CMCs are shipped separately and the contractor or customer must reinstall the
CMC into the VFD enclosure onsite. The CMC is completely installed and tested
at the factory before being removed for shipment.
See Rockwell Automation publication 7000-IN003_-EN-P for instructions on
installing a separately shipped CMC.
WARNING: Do not stand underneath the drive unit at any time during the
overhead lifting. Follow local regulations and codes regarding health and safety
at all times.
ATTENTION: Load ratings of the lifting device, slings, hooks, and shackles must
have a lifting capacity rated equal to or greater than the load. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. For your drive’s
specific weight, refer to shipping weights on the packing slip.
