Rigging equipment must accommodate uneven weight distribution within the
drive (
Figure 14 ).
Figure 14 - Adjustment of rigging length
When vertical space is limited, you may need to fabricate a spreader lifting beam.
Adjustment is necessary to accommodate unequal weight distribution as shown
in
Figure 12 , Figure 13 , and Figure 14 .
Rod or Pipe Rollers Use this method only when moving the drive on one floor level with no inclines.
1. Use boards or steel plates (
Figure 15 ).
2. Carefully ease the shipping skid over the roller pipes until the entire drive
weight rests on the roller pipes.
WARNING: Take care when using either a forklift or the pipe rolling technique
for positioning purposes, to ensure that the drive is not scratched, dented, or
damaged. Stabilize the drive during handling to guard against tipping and
injury to personnel.
