Lifting Sling
Using a lifting sling is the preferred method for overhead lifting of heavy duty/
export packaged columns, but it may be used for other types of columns. Refer
to the following procedure.
1. Place the lifting sling under the shipping platform. Ensure that slack has
been eliminated and that the lifting sling remains in place under the load.
2. The spreader bar must have a larger span (overhang) than the motor
control center load.
3. Carefully stabilize the motor control center during handling. All rigging
must be designed to support the load (refer to the packing slip for
weight) with the appropriate safety factor.
