CommScope Trunk & Distribution Cable - Manual (Page 11)

Unloading CommScope Cable
Unloading at a Dock
Use a pallet jack or forklift to remove all cable on pallets.
Remove any blocking materials for the individual rows of
cable and roll the reels onto the dock. If the back of the
trailer and dock are not at the same height, use an
appropriate loading ramp to compensate for the
difference.
Unloading without a Dock
If you use a ramp, it should be strong enough to support
the weight of the unloading personnel and the heaviest
cable reels. The ramp should have raised sides to prevent
the cable reels from rolling off the sides of the ramp.
The ramp should be long enough to allow control of the
momentum of the cable as it rolls down the ramp. A pulley
system connected to the sides of the truck and to a shaft
passing through the center of the reels can help control
the momentum of the rolling reels. With this method, two
workers can usually control movement of the heaviest reel.
If you use a Cargomaster crane, unstack and move the
cable to the ground at the rear of the truck.
DO NOT drop reels off the back of the truck
onto a stack of tires, onto the ground or any
other surface. The impact may injure personnel and
damage the cable. Always use ample personnel to safely
unload shipments of cable.
