Transportation and Handling
(cont.)
Rod or Pipe Rollers
This method is only suitable when there are no inclines and the drive
is being moved on one floor level.
1. Boards 50.8 mm x 152.4 mm (2 in. x 6 in.) or equivalent and at
least 300 mm (12 inches) longer than the drive must be placed
under the shipping skid.
2. Carefully ease the shipping platform over the roller pipes until
the drive weight is borne on the roller pipes.
3. The drive can be rolled to its designated location. Steady the load
to prevent tipping.
50.8 mm x 152.4 mm (2 in. x 6 in.) minimum

Fork Lift Trucks
A single fork lift truck may be used on drives not exceeding 3 m
(120 inches) in length if the lift truck has sufficient lifting capacity.
Larger drives can be moved with two forklift trucks operating in
tandem.
1. Insert forks into openings of shipping skids from the rear of the
drive.
2. Carefully balance the drive on the forks because the drives are
usually heavier at one side.
3. Use safety straps when handling to steady the drive while
moving.
