installation or removal of
the contactor carriage
using the lifting methods
described in this section.
Always use a Toshiba JK
LIFTING DEVICE for the
installation or removal of
the contactor carriage.
USING A FORKLIFT
A forklift truck may offer a more convenient
method of handling the controller. A safety
strap should be used when handling with a
forklift. The ends of the forks should not enter
the bottom of an open-bottom enclosure.
OVERHEAD LIFTING
When it is necessary to move the equipment
between elevations, overhead hoisting may be
required. Lifting angles (for multiple controller
sections) are provided on top of the enclosure
for this purpose.
Spreaders (Fig. 3) should be used to provide
the vertical lift on single controllers to prevent
eye-bolt
failure.
Always keep the controller upright while lifting.
Some controller sections may contain heavy or
special equipment that will cause the center of
gravity to be off-center.
Rigging lengths
should be adjusted to maintain the controller in
an upright position.
The angle between the
lifting cables and vertical should not be
allowed to exceed 45 degrees (Fig. 4). Ropes
or cables should not pass through the holes in
