ground. Further movement should resume minimizing any G-loads as the final wheels meet ground
level. Failure to smoothly transition the table and gantry to ground level may cause serious damage
to the table, gantry or their transport dollies.
1.2.3 Forklift Truck
A forklift can be used to unload the gantry, provided that the lifting option is ordered and delivered.
The system will arrive with a lifting skid attached to the gantry and table. This option cannot be
added later as an on-site addition.
1.2.4 Rigging
The CT gantry assemblies shall not be lifted by their dollies. The CT gantry assemblies shall not be
transported across any surface by any means other than the dollies provided by GE. The CT gantry
assemblies have no lifting points on them and are not designed to be lifted by any special rigging
attached to the gantry assemblies themselves.
POSSIBLE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

THE DOLLIES ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED AS AN ATTACHMENT POINT FOR
ANY METHOD OF LIFTING THE SUBSYSTEMS.

ATTACHING LIFTING STRAPS, CABLES OR MECHANISMS TO THE DOLLY
HANDLES OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE DOLLY IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
NOTICE If it is determined that the subsystems must be lifted by crane or other lifting method the PM
or person responsible for local siting of the system shall NOT proceed with the installation
without consulting directly with GE Engineering.
Lifting the subsystems by crane or other lifting method should always be avoided. All alternate
methods of delivery should be evaluated including the removal of any obstructions, doorways,
walls, and windows.
If lifting is still required:
1.) The entire gantry assembly and both gantry transport side dollies must be placed on a lifting
platform. GE does not provide a lifting platform.
2.) The entire patient table must be on its dollies and lifted while sitting on a lifting platform.
The patient table on its dolly shall be lowered to its transport position so the table base is in
contact with the platform.
3.) The platform must be designed so no lifting straps or cables come in contact with any part of
