4.2 Unloading the boiler-burner unit
Your new boiler-burner unit has a single lifting lug located on the top of the boiler along the centerline.
This is to be used for unloading. A crane is the best means of unloading and setting the unit in place. A
forklift can also be used to unload and set the boiler but you must be certain that it is only lifted from the
designated points. Dollies placed under the legs can also be used to move the boiler on flat surfaces.
DO
NOT USE A LIFTING CABLE AROUND THE UNIT. DO NOT USE A FORK LIFT UNDER THE DRUM OF THE
BOILER.
4.3 Boiler unloading instructions

Before the boiler is shipped, employ a firm that is experienced in the unloading and moving of
equipment of this size and weight.

Confirm with the supplier of the crane that is being used to unload the boiler that it is of sufficient
capacity to lift and unload the boiler. The boiler’s dimensions and weights are found on the drawing
supplied with your submittal.

Upon arrival, inspect the boiler and any parts shipped with the boiler. If any damage is found, notify
Triad Boiler Systems, Inc. and note damage on the bill of lading and any other receiving papers.

The boiler is designed to be lifted by the lifting lugs only. The use of tow motors, etc., is not acceptable
and can damage the boiler.

Before lifting the boiler, check all of the transport tie downs to insure that they have been removed
and will not interfere with the lifting of the boiler.

Check the lifting cables to insure that they are positioned properly and will not cause any damage to
the boiler.

Check all electrical enclosure doors and attached piping to insure that they are firmly secured.

Carefully lift the boiler off the trailer, lower it and transport it to its installation location.

Lower the boiler onto its foundation and disconnect the lifting cables.

Once the boiler is in position, verify that required clearances are satisfied. Clearances need to be
provided from combustible materials.
This should be checked while the boiler can still be easily
moved.

The boiler should now be in position for the attachment of all the connecting piping and electrical
wiring.

If the boiler cannot be moved into position by the crane, it may be lowered onto a set of trucks and
then rolled into position. The trucks must be designed to support the weight of the boiler. The trucks
must be placed directly under the legs of the boiler.

The boiler is to be rolled into position by attaching a set of cables to the rear legs of the boiler and the
other end to a winch. Using the winch, pull the boiler into location. NOTE: Do not attach the winch to
a load-bearing wall or column. If the boiler is to be set on a housekeeping pad, the truck height and
pad height should match closely. If there is a height mismatch, boiler damage can occur.
