To lift unit with forklift, extend the forks under both
ends of the unit as indicated in the below figure. The
forks should extend past the end of the unit and should
not contact the bottom of the air handler. Units should
only be lifted from the proper end identified by the

Lifting Indoor Units with Optional Baserail
For unit sizes 3 to 30, a forklift may be used to lift a single
section or small subassembly, provided the forks extend
under both ends of the base frame, or as indicated in the
figure below. The forks should not contact the bottom of
the air handler. Units should only be lifted from the proper
end identified by the lifting label on the unit. A lifting crane
or other means should be used for larger units where forks
cannot extend under both base rails.
Lifting Outdoor Units
Note:
For outdoor air handlers, preparation of the roof
curb or pier mount and roof openings must be
completed before lifting to the roof. See CLCH-
