Take up the slack in the lifting device very carefully
and manually stabilize the switchgear to prevent it
from rotating.
Warning:
Do not stand under switchgear while it is
being moved. Serious injury may occur if the cables
or lifting device fail.
Caution:
Gently lower the switchgear section onto
the level site location. If the switchgear is roughly
handled or jarred, it is possible to damage or
misalign internal components.
Outdoor enclosure lifting
Methods of lifting outdoor switchgear sections are
much the same as for indoor equipment except the
lifting plates are provided at the base of the
structure. See Figure 06.
If lifting outdoor switchgear sections, side support
timbers must be placed along the sides to prevent
any damage that could be caused by the lifting
cables.
In addition, spreader bars must be inserted
between each lift cable, both front and rear.
Spreader bar locations must be on the sides and
above the switchgear equipment as shown in
Fig. 06. Proceed to lift and place the outdoor
switchgear utilizing all the precautions and
requirements that apply to lifting the indoor
switchgear. The lifting plates, Figure 05, should
be removed after the equipment is permanently
anchored so passageways at the ends of the
equipment will not be obstructed.
Rollers
If crane facilities are not available, the equipment
may be moved into position by means of
construction rollers placed under the shipping
skids. The switchgear may be raised enough for the
placement of rollers by means of a fork lift or jack.
There should never be less than four rollers under
the equipment unless the line-up is less than five
feet long. Use one roller for each 18 inches of
equipment length.
