3.3.3 Moving packages with a crane
Moving units with transport tubes and ropes/chains
There are two ways to move AHU casing units: either
with ropes/chains or with transport tubes.
Use only transport tubes with a length that is adequate
for the AHU casing unit to be moved. The table below
(
Ä
‘Transport tubes’ on page 13 ) shows the recom-
mended minimum lengths for transport tubes.

Overall width of AHU

Length of transport tube

The transport tubes are not included in the air handling
unit supply package. Use only transport tubes that are
suitable for the required load (see table
Ä
‘Moving units
with transport tubes and ropes/chains’ on page 13 ).

NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property from a crane!
Take proper precautions when you use a crane to
move or lift parts or components of an air handling
unit as otherwise they may be damaged.
– Protect the edges of the AHU casing units with
wood blocks.
– Spread the wire ropes or chains near the roof
with a suitable device.
Fig. 6: Moving units with a crane and transport tubes
1. Remove the plugs from the drilled holes in the
base frame (Fig. 6/5) of the AHU casing unit.
2. Push transport tubes (Fig. 6/4) through the drilled
holes in the base frame.
3. Place the loops of the ropes or chains (Fig. 6/2)
around the ends of the transport tubes.
DANGER!
Danger of death from the fall of suspended
loads!
Potentially fatal situations may occur if the
chains or wire ropes slip off the transport
tubes.
Ensure that the chains or ropes cannot slip.
4. Protect the edges with wood blocks (Fig. 6/3).
5. Spread the slings near the roof with a suitable
device (Fig. 6/1).
6. Ensure that the slings cannot damage the AHU
casing unit.
7. Suspend (distribute) the load symmetrically, i.e. in
such a way that its centre of gravity is beneath the
crane hook.
8. Slowly lift the load and start moving.
