Tower Shipment

Unless otherwise specified, MCW towers ship by truck (on flat bed trail-
ers), which lets you receive, hoist, and install the tower in one continuous
operation. Single-cell towers ship on one truck. Multicell towers, depending
on their size, may require more than one truck.

Responsibility for the condition of the tower upon its arrival belongs to the
trucker—as does the coordination of multiple shipments, if required.

receiving Tower

Prior to unloading the tower from the delivering carrier, inspect the ship-
ment for evidence of damage in transit. If damage is apparent, note the
freight bill accordingly. This will support your future recovery claim.

Find and remove the installation instruction drawings and bills of material
located in a plastic bag in the cold water basin. This information should
be kept for future reference and maintenance purposes.

Hoisting Tower

All MCW models consist of two modules per cell. The upper module in-
cludes eye bolts at the top corners. Hoisting clips on the lower module are
attached to the horizontal cross channels. A

Hoisting-installation label

which has hoisting dimensional information is located on the side casing
near the tower centerline. Remove tower from the carrier and hoist into
place according to the instructions on the label.

MCW upper and lower modules must be hoisted and set separately.
Do not preassemble modules prior to hoisting.

Hoisting clips are provided for ease of unloading and positioning
tower. For overhead lifts or where additional safety is required, safety
slings should also be placed under the tower. Under no circumstances
should you combine the top and bottom modules of modular models
and attempt to hoist them at the same time by utilizing the hoisting
clips alone!
