Rod or pipe rollers

With the aid of pinch bars, pipe rolling provides a simple method of moving
motor control centers on one floor level if there is no significant incline. This
method of handling can be used for all types of sections. Refer to and follow
the procedure outlined below.

1. Carefully ease the shipping platform over the pipes until the pipes

support the full weight of the motor control center.

2. Roll the motor control center to its designated location. Use extreme

caution to steady the load and prevent it from tipping.
