Shipping and Handling Procedures

This document pertains to PowerFlex 6000 medium voltage drives and also
mentions the optional bypass cabinets. Additional procedures may apply for
specific equipment. Refer to other documentation provided with the equipment.

Overview

The PowerFlex 6000 drive cabinets are bolted to wooden skids and placed into
wooden shipping crates. After the crating is removed, the cabinets must remain
bolted to the wooden skids until moved to its final installation area. Lifting
angles are affixed to the shipping skid on either side of the cabinetry, where
applicable. The cabinets must remain in an upright position during handling.

Round rollers can be used to assist in moving the cabinets to the installation site.
Once at the final site, the pipe rolling technique can be used to place the cabinet
in the desired location.

Any error in transporting or installing the drive will delay the drive
commissioning progress.

IMPORTANT

Chapter 1 contains important information about offloading the drive crates
and handling the drive cabinets. Review this chapter before attempting to
offload the crates from the delivery truck and move the drive cabinets. The
instructions help you safely offload and transport your Rockwell Automation
Medium Voltage product to the installation site.

WARNING: Never attempt to lift or move the drive by any means other than the
handling methods listed in this publication. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or death, damage to the drive, and potential economic loss.

ATTENTION: The load carrying capacity of the lifting device and rigging must
be sufficient to safely raise the drive. Check the shipping weights by referring to
the container’s commercial invoice.

WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when moving the drive to ensure the
equipment is not scratched, dented or damaged in any manner. Stabilize the
drive during handling to prevent tipping and injury to personnel.
