4.2 Considerations for Transport to the NMR laboratory
Before delivery the customer must ensure that the system and magnet can be transported to
the site. The section on
Transport Dimensions and Weights [ } 26] in this chapter provides
the sizes and weights of the crates in which the system are shipped. The following must be
considered:
• The access clearance (height and width) and floor loading capacity must be checked
along the entire route that the magnet will take from the access point into the building to
the laboratory. Please refer to the Transport Dimensions and Transport Weights tables.
• Transport will also be affected by any floor irregularities and the presence of door jams
and steps. Use Masonite leveling sheets to traverse floor irregularities such as cracks
and door seals.
• Elevator capacity and dimensions must also be considered if the magnet must make an
elevation change within the building.
• The turning radius can also be a factor if, for example, corners must be navigated. It is
important to make sure the rigging equipment for magnet assembly (e.g. a long I-beam for
the gantry) can be brought into the lab.
• The console and magnet must be moved in an upright position .
Refer to the section Rigging Equipment [
}

* Measured from magnet bottom plate to helium tower - this is the absolute minimum
height!
** The heights listed with pallet jack assume that the floor is level, thus the magnet needs
only to be jacked up approx. 2 cm for transport. If the floor is uneven, the magnet may
need to be jacked up accordingly, which could add as much as 9 cm to the transport
height.
