10. Lifting and Stacking the Modules
Overview for Safety
Before lifting any modules make sure the lifting capacity of the crane is adequate for the total combined
weight of the module or modules, as well as any attached accessories such as catwalks, platforms
and ladders.

The GSI Modular Tower Dryer is designed for quick and safe on-site installation. In order to maximize
safety, always perform as much work as possible as close to the ground as possible. Use the illustration
guides included later in this section for reference.
All sections of the GSI Modular Tower Dryer come labeled by the factory. Separate labels identify the dryer
sections by name and by their sequential placement in the overall stacking of the Modular Tower Dryer.
To determine the weight of multiple sections when lifting them together, simply add the section weights
together and if applicable, add the weight of the catwalk as well.
NOTE: It is recommended to attach ladder to roof module BEFORE lifting roof off of ground. Attach ladder
to section below roof module AFTER roof module is placed upon it.
NOTE: 8' Ladder section will only be able to be attached after the section is stacked on another section.
