Jacks
Jacks may be used in place of forklifts to raise and
lower switchgear.
1. Place a jack under the front and rear corners
of one end of the line-up. Figure 12 and 13
illustrate the use of jacks with outdoor
equipment.
Caution:
Do not place jacks in any other location
other than the front and rear corners of the
switchgear. Doing so may result in serious damage
to the switchgear equipment.
2. Raise the switchgear evenly and just enough to
position a roller beneath the equipment. Gently
lower the switchgear onto the rollers. Repeat the
procedure at the opposite end of the switchgear,
raising the gear far enough to place the
appropriate number of rollers under the skids,
spacing them evenly across the width
of the line-up. Gently lower the gear onto
the rollers.

3. While carefully pushing the switchgear to its final
site position, the rollers that are freed from the
rear of the switchgear are then repositioned at
the forward end. This procedure should be
continued until the switchgear is in its final
location.
4. When the switchgear is in its final position,
remove all lag bolts holding the shipping skids to
the switchgear line-up.
5. Place one jack at each corner, front and rear, of
the switchgear. Carefully raise the line-up evenly
and remove the rollers and the shipping skids.
Evenly lower the line-up to the floor and remove
the jacks.
