RIGGING
General notes
1. Lifting and transportation of the equipment by means of forklifts is not permitted, as this may result in serious
damage of the tank bottom and the ice coils.
2. Lifting devices have been provided for short lifts and final positioning.
3. Spreader bars of the full width of the section must be used between the lifting cables to prevent damage to the
section.
4. For extended lifts or where hazards exist, it is recommended to use the lifting devices in conjunction with
safety slings placed under the unit.
5. As an alternative to lifting, the ice chiller thermal storage unit can be rolled into position. If rollers are used, they
should be placed under the unit and must exceed the unit width.
When the unit is installed, all metal parts created by drilling, fastening self tapping screws, grinding, welding or
other mechanical works must be removed from the unit. If they remain on the unit (typically on the double break
flanges) this could lead to corrosion and eventually coating damage.
Support requirements
All units must be continuously supported by a level concrete pad designed for the unit’s operating weight (see
certified drawing). The pitch of the concrete pad must not exceed 2 mm per meter. Any variation over this amount
must be corrected with high strength grout. Do not use shims to level the unit.
If the unit is to be rolled to its final position, the surface over which it is moved must be level and hard. Place the
rollers under each corner as shown in following figures.
