Fans – Rigging and Lifting

Fans are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is used before 
mounting stack to the fan. Location of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such a manner as to keep from 
scratching or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce ability of fan to resist corrosion. See coating repair 
section of this manual for details involving touch-up of damaged surfaces.

•  Lift unit before mounting the stack to the fan body.
•  Use standard lifting and rigging practices.
•  

ALL

 lifting brackets on each component must be utilized at the same time.

•  

Fan to be kept level during lifting and installation.

Drawings indicate the lifting point locations.

IMPORTANT

Fans should never be lifted by the stack, shaft, motor, motor cover, weatherhood or accessories.
