SMA America, LLC 7 Transporting the Inverter
Installation Manual SCCP-US-IA-US_en-41 45
Procedure:
1. Move the crane forwards until the crane fork is positioned
underneath the inverter from the front or the rear. When doing so
observe the centre of gravity of the inverter and position the crane
fork completely under the inverter.
2. Slowly raise the crane fork with the inverter.
3. Transport the inverter to the mounting location and set down on a suitable surface.
7.5 Transporting the Inverter Using a Forklift Truck
Requirements:
☐ The forklift truck must be designed to take the weight of the inverter.
☐ The kick plates of the inverter must be removed.
Procedure:
1. Move the forks of the forklift truck under the inverter at the front or
rear side. When doing so, observe the center of gravity of the
inverter and move the forks far enough under the inverter to ensure
that when the inverter is lifted, it rests completely on the forks.
2. Secure the inverter against tipping using tension belts.
3. Slowly lift the inverter.
4. Transport the inverter to the mounting location and set down on a suitable surface.

Danger of crushing if the inverter tips over
With the kick plates mounted at the rear side of the inverter, the supporting surface of the inverter is insufficient for the
forks of the forklift truck. Vibrations during transport may cause the inverter to slip off the forklift truck and tip over. This
may result in death or serious injury.
• When the kick plates are mounted, always transport the inverter with suitable lifting accessories.
