Lifting Equipment
You will require a lifting device (crane) and suitable
four-leg chain sling fitted with hooks and safety
catches. Note that most chain slings SWL are rated
at 90 degrees and the SWL usually decreases,
depending upon the angle the chain is used at.
Always check and obtain official confirmation
Bracket from the chain sling supplier that it is both
suitable in SWL and chain length.
Attaching the Lifting Equipment
With the chain sling correctly attached to the lifting
equipment, attach each hook to the lifting /
stacking bracket on all four corners. Once attached, ensure the hook’s gate is closed.
Attach tag lines to the base of the unit to control rotation.
LIFT ONLY ONE UNIT AT A TIME.
Lifting
Lift the chains until taut and check that the hooks are correctly positioned with gate closed
and that the chains are not twisted. If a fault is found, lower the chain and reattach
correctly.
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE UNDER THE RAISED LOAD AT ANY TIME OR FOR ANY REASON
Lift the unit until just off of the ground and check that it is balanced and stable. Once you
are satisfied that everything is correctly and safely set up, you can continue with the lift.
Use suitable tag lines to help control the movement of the unit and always keep constant
communication with the crane operator.
Move slowly and smoothly to ensure full control of the units whereabouts.
Lowering
Lower the unit to its required resting place using great care.
