Figure 14 - Adjustment of rigging length
When vertical space is limited, you might need to fabricate a spreader lifting
beam. Adjustment is necessary to accommodate unequal weight distribution as
shown in Figure 12
, Figure 13, and Figure 14.
Rod or Pipe Rollers
Use this method only when moving the drive on one floor level with no inclines.
1. Use boards or steel plates (Figure 15
).
2. Carefully ease the shipping skid over the roller pipes until the entire drive
weight rests on the roller pipes.
3. Roll the drive to its designated location. Steady the load to prevent tipping.
WARNING: Take care when using either a forklift or the pipe rolling technique
for positioning purposes, to prevent the drive from being scratched, dented, or
damaged. Stabilize the drive during handling to guard against tipping and
injury to personnel.
