Transporting
Overview
When shipping or transporting VARI ❋ LITE Luminaires, Vari-Lite recommends that the luminaire(s)
be sufficiently protected against any (including, but not limited to) shock, vibration, drops, jarring,
exposure to the environment, etc.
Failure to sufficiently protect any VARI
❋ LITE luminaire during shipping or transportation will
result in damage and void the luminaire’s warranty. Vari-Lite will not be responsible for any shipping
damage or breakage of any product under any circumstances. Vari-Lite will not be responsible for
any third party case manufacturer’s cases.
Note: As with all automated luminaires, proper handling and suitable protective shipping cases should
be used when transporting fixtures to reduce the risk of damage. For more information, please refer to
Philips Entertainment Lighting technical notice (TN-235) "Transportation and Shipping Case
Requirements" in the "Support" area of the
Vari-Lite web site.
Transportation and Shipping Case Requirements
Cases to transport VARI ❋ LITE luminaires should meet the following loading requirements:
• Luminaire head, yoke, and enclosure sub-assemblies shall be equally supported and constrained
where no one sub-assembly (head, yoke, or enclosure) fully supports the entire mass of the
luminaire.
• The interior of the case shall be of high quality and uniform density foam. The foam shall be of the
same type and density throughout as to equally and uniformly support loading at every contact
surface.
• The case shall, when laid on any of its six (6) surfaces, maintain the loading requirements outlined
above.
• All cases not meeting the aforementioned loading requirements, with wheels, shall have markings
on the exterior of the case that the unit is to be transported on it wheels only (e.g. "Case must be
transported and remain [at all times] on its wheels").
