Large Cell Handling (D and G)
Cells are shipped on a pallet, with each cell packaged in an individual styrofoam shipping base
and top.
Never lift a cell by the posts. Lifting the cell by the posts can damage the seals and will
void the
warranty
. When lifting large-size cells, use the lifting belt and protective styrofoam shipping
cover provided.
Use a mechanical device, such as a hoist or crane, for lifting.
Each battery shipment includes one lifting belt, about 14 feet (4.3 meters) long x 1 inch
(25 mm) wide.
All cells are shipped with a molded styrofoam insert covering the posts and intercell connectors.
This insert should remain in place for lifting the cells. As the cell is lifted, the belts will tighten
against the shipping top. The belts will cut into the styrofoam. This is desirable, because the
indentations created will help to keep the belts positioned and the cell stable.
1.
Remove the packaging from around the cells/units, and remove the wooden cleats from the
perimeter of the shipping pallet.
2.
Leave the molded top insert in place. You will use it in lifting the cell.
3.
Fold the lifting belt in half and push each loop end Down between the cells/units until the
loops touch the shipping pallet. See Figure 6.5.
NOTE:
Ensure that the straps are
placed around the two
sides of the cell/unit that
will be positioned across
