4 General Handling Procedures for Medium Voltage Controllers
MV-QS050B-EN-P – November 2006
Laying Controllers Down
It may be necessary to lay the controller down while you are moving
or installing it. Contact Rockwell Automation for special considerations
with your controller. Be sure to provide a description of your controller
including the series number, which can be found on a metal nameplate
midway up the cabinet on the right-hand flange.
Rod or Pipe Rollers
This method offers an alternative to using a fork lift or an overhead
lifter, and should only be attempted on a level surface.
1. Place 2-inch. x 6-inch boards or equivalent under the skid. Make
sure the boards are at least 30 cm (one foot) longer than the
shipping skid.
2. Carefully move the shipping skid over the roller pipes until the
pipes bear the entire weight of the controller.
3. The controller may now be rolled to its designated location.
Steady the load to prevent tipping and use pinch bars to aid the
movement.
