Chapter 2 Receiving, Handling, and Storage
Handling The following are acceptable methods of handling MCC columns within the
receiving facility. These methods are described in publication
2500-IN002 .
• Use of a forklift
• Overhead lifting (crane or hoist)
• Sling lifting
MCC columns must be handled in the upright vertical position. Failure to
comply with this method can lead to busbar, unit, and enclosure damage.
The MCC must remain bolted to the shipping skid until delivered to its final
installation area.
Storage CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs, units and related equipment must be stored in a
clean, dry environment with ambient temperatures ranging from -25…55 °C
(-13…131 °F). For short periods, not exceeding 24 hours, temperatures of up to
70 °C (158 °F) are allowed. Take care to help prevent damage from exposure to
excessive humidity, vibration, and shock.
Store MCCs with the plastic covering in place to prevent dirt and dust from
entering the structure. Check periodically for condensation build up and, if
necessary, install space heaters. Contact your Rockwell Automation representative
for ordering information.
ATTENTION: MCCs are top and front heavy. To avoid personal injury or
structural damage, never attempt to lift or move the MCC by any means other
than the methods outlined in Receiving, Handling and Storing Motor Control
Centers, publication
2100-IN040 .
