Chapter 2 Transportation and Handling Procedures
Overhead Lifting
1. Use shackles in the holes of the lifting angles and use safety hooks in the
shackles (Figure 11
). Do not pass slings or cables through the holes of the
lifting angles. Use only 38 mm (1.5 in.) diameter holes for shackles.

2. Verify that the angle between the lifting cables does not exceed 45° from
vertical (see Figure 12
and Figure 13).
3. You can also use a spreader bar to lift the equipment. Confirm that the
spreader beam has a load rating adequate for the equipment.
4. Lift the equipment a minimal amount to verify that it is properly secured
and balanced before moving the equipment further.
IMPORTANT For the largest direct-to-drive VFDs, the common mode chokes (CMCs) are
relatively heavy (5000 lb/2267 kg). To ease handling of the VFD enclosure, the
CMCs are shipped separately and the contractor or customer must reinstall the
CMC into the VFD enclosure on-site. The CMC is completely installed and tested
at the factory before being removed for shipment.
See publication 7000-IN003
for instructions on installing a separately shipped
CMC.
WARNING: Do not stand underneath the drive unit at any time during the
overhead lifting. Follow local regulations and codes regarding health and safety
at all times.
ATTENTION: Load ratings of the lifting device, slings, hooks, and shackles must
have a lifting capacity rated equal to or greater than the load. Failure to do so
can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. See the shipping
weights on the packing slip.
