2 CENTERLINE® 2500 Motor Control Centers Receiving, Handling and Storing
Handling
The following guidelines are provided to help avoid personal injury and
equipment damage during handling, and to facilitate moving the motor control
center at the installation site.
Due to varying motor control center configurations, a number of different
shipping skids are used. To help prevent distortion and minimize tipping of the
motor control center during the moving process, the shipping skid must
remain bolted to the motor control center until the motor control center
is delivered to its final installation area.
Handle the motor control center carefully in order to avoid damage to the
units, columns and paint. Keep the motor control center in an upright
position.
The motor control center should not have been tipped or laid flat
during shipment. Before moving the motor control center, make sure that the
route is clear of all obstructions and that fellow workers are a safe distance
away.
Forklifting
CENTERLINE 2500 motor control centers have shipping skids that facilitate
the insertion of lift truck forks, with fork access from each side.
ATTENTION
!
Follow local codes and guidelines in addition to your
company safety procedures when handling motor control
centers.
To avoid personal injury and structural damage to the
motor control center, never attempt to lift or move the
motor control center by any means other than those listed
in this publication. Motor control centers are top- and
front-heavy.
