Installation & Operation
Lifting
Condux International Inc. offers a lifting bail option
for routine lifting, loading onto trucks, etc.
Compressors to be air lifted by helicopter must not
be supported by the lifting provision, but by slings
with appropriate spreader bars. Lift only in full
compliance with OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910
subpart N.
Inspect lifting provision for cracked welds and for
cracked, bent, corroded or otherwise degraded
members prior to lifting.
Make sure entire lifting, rigging and supporting
structure has been inspected, is in good condition and
had a rated capacity of at least the net weight of the
compressor plus and additional 10% allowance for
the weight of snow, ice, mud or stored tools and
equipment. If you are unsure of the weight, then
weigh the compressor before lifting.
● Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety
latch, or equivalent, and is fully engaged once it
has been lifted clear of the ground.
● Do not attempt to lift in high winds.
● Keep all personnel out from under and away from
the compressor when suspended.
● Lift compressor slowly and smoothly, without
jerking.
● Lift compressor no higher than necessary.
● Keep lift operators in constant attendance
whenever compressor is suspended.
● Set compressor down only on level surfaces
capable of supporting at least its net weight plus
an additional
● 10% allowance for the weight of snow, ice, mud
or stored tools and equipment.
