Lifting sling
Using a lifting sling is the preferred method for overhead lifting of crated or export
packaged panels, but it may be used for all types of uncrated panels, without lifting eyes or
angles. Follow the lifting sling procedure below.
1. Place the lifting sling under the shipping platform.
2. The spreader bar must have a larger span (overhang) than the industrial control panel
load.
3. Carefully stabilize the industrial control panel during handling. All rigging must be
designed to support the load (refer to shipping weights) with the appropriate safety
factor.
