Chapter 1 Shipping and Handling Procedures
General Handling
Information • Rockwell Automation strongly recommends using professional riggers
with suitable rated lifting equipment to move the drive to the final
installation site.
• Qualified professionals must inspect all lifting equipment prior to moving
the cabinets.
• Keep the cabinets in an upright position. Some units are top-heavy and
may fall over if tilted.
• The cabinets are not rigid structures. Do not torque or twist the cabinets
while siting the drives or joining the shipping splits.
• Use fasteners with a minimum metric Grade 10.9 (SAE Grade 8) strength.
Rockwell Automation recommends using Crosby bolt-type shackles.
• All lifting cables must meet lifting capacity requirements.
• Close and secure all drive doors before moving the equipment.
• Keep the cabinets bolted to the wooden shipping skids to minimize the
possibility of it tipping. Do not remove the wooden skid until the cabinets
are at the final installation area. Depending on the type of drive cabinet,
the crate may include a pair of lifting angles. Install both lifting angles on
top of the cabinet.
Offloading and Moving
Crates Fork Lifts
The terms fork lift, lift truck, and fork lift truck are all commonly used and refer
to the same thing. A single fork lift may be used for offloading and moving
cabinets up to 4 m (157 in.) wide, if the fork lift has sufficient lifting capacity.
Cabinets exceeding 4 m should be offloaded and moved with two fork lifts
operating in tandem.
• Insert the forks into the openings of the wooden shipping skid.
• Balance the crates on the forks. The crates can be heavier on one side.
• Use safety straps when handling to steady the crate while moving.
ATTENTION: Do not stand near or underneath equipment being lifted
overhead.
ATTENTION: Restrict access to areas where equipment will be lifted overhead
to prevent access from unauthorized personnel.
