the gantry or table subsystems or its side dollies.

Note: If delivery requires vertical or horizontal lifting, the PM needs to add the necessary identifier to the
order.
Section 2.0

Delivery to the Scan Suite
Once at the installation site, conveyance of the system into the scan suite may involve special
considerations, such as vertical lifting, or transportation though stairwells, which involves additional
planning by the Project Manager of Installation.
2.1 Lifting
Both vertical and horizontal lifting require professional riggers. The PMI should always notify CT
engineering before attempting either lifting procedure and should make sure that the order includes
the necessary lifting fixtures, as both vertical and horizontal fixtures must appear on the order for
them to ship with the system.
If delivery requires vertical lifting, the PMI adds the appropriate identifier to the order. The gantry
ships in a vertical lifting crate with lifting instructions for riggers.
If delivery requires horizontal lifting, the PMI adds the corresponding identifier to the order. The
gantry ships in a horizontal lifting crate with lifting instructions for riggers.
2.1.1 Stairway Deliveries
Stairways with angles at or less than 45 degrees can accommodate delivery of system components.
If the site requires delivery through stairwells, the PMI adds the appropriate identifier to the order to
ensure proper packaging of the system, and notifies CT engineering before attempting the
procedure. The components ship attached to special lifting skids with lifting instruction for riggers.
2.2 Floor Protection
GE recommends floor protection along the delivery path from the dock/receiving area to scan room.
2.3 Un-Loading and Un-packing the System
Retain the packaging surrounding the following components:
•
Console-Shipped on a shock resistant skid. Do not remove the skid.
• UPS-Shipped on a shock resistant skid. Do not remove the skid.
