Equipment Handling

1.3.1 Handling With Skid

• Always keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from damage.
• If possible, transport the unit using a forklift truck. Otherwise use a crane with belts or cables. In

either case, do NOT press on the top edges of the packaging.

• If using a forklift, make sure the forks (if adjustable) are spread to the widest allowable distance

to still fit under the skid.

• When moving the skidded unit with a forklift truck, do not lift the unit any higher than

6" (152mm) off the ground. If circumstances require the unit to be lifted higher than 6" (152mm),

great care must be exercised and all by-standing personnel are to be no closer than 20 feet (6m)

from the lift point of the unit.

1.3.2 Removal from Skid

Liebert recommends using dual hand trucks or a similar method to remove the Liebert XDP from the

skid. This is to ensure that both ends of the unit are firmly secure and to provide a good means of unit

mobility.
1. Always keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from possible damage.
2. Remove the exterior packaging. Leave the plastic bag over the Liebert XDP until the unit has

been moved to its final location. The bag will protect the painted panels against scuffing.

3. Remove two (2) corner tie-down brackets from one side of the unit, on a non-runner notch side of

the pallet. Remove eight (8) lag bolts from two (2) end deck boards on the same end where the

tie-down brackets were removed (refer to Figure 2).

WARNING

Risk of unit falling over. Can cause injury or death.
The Liebert XDP is top-heavy. Use extreme caution and care when moving and installing this

unit.

NOTE
Personnel should be properly trained and certified to move and rig equipment.

!

CAUTION

Risk of structural interference. Can cause equipment or building damage.
While on the skid, the unit is too tall (83" [2108mm] overall height) to fit through a standard

doorway. Any attempt to move the unit, while skidded, through a standard doorway will

cause damage to the unit and to the building.
