Section 6:
Lifting a Packaged Rooftop Unit:
WARNING
CRUSH HAZARD
Use proper lifting equipment and
practices. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death,
injury, or property damage.
The unit must be installed in compliance with all
applicable codes. The qualified installer or service
technician must use best building practices when
installing the unit.
6.1 Moving/Lifting a Packaged Air
Conditioning Unit
6.1.1 Preparing to Move/Lift the Unit:
Prior to moving/lifting the unit, the following steps must
be performed.
1. Remove all packaging or blockers.
2. Remove all packages that were shipped inside
the unit.
3. Inspect the unit to:
• Verify that there is no damage as a result
of shipping.
• Ensure that it is appropriately rated for the utilities
available at the installation site.
• Verify that the lifting lugs are intact, undamaged
and secured to the packaged air conditioning unit.
• Ensure factory-installed hardware is torqued
as specified.
4. Prepare the installation location to be ready to accept
the unit (i.e. roof curb is correct size).
5. Verify that the moving/lifting equipment can handle the
unit’s weight. Verify that forklift forks extend through
the unit frame and that crane has required reach.
6.1.2 Moving the Unit with a Forklift
On smaller A, B, and some C cabinet units, forklift pockets
are provided for lifting and moving. The following must be
considered before using this option.
• Forklift must be rated for the weight of the unit.
• Forklift must have forks long enough to go through
both side pockets and not rest on the underside base-
pans of the unit.
• Care must be taken to not jar the unit, bounce, or
drop the unit during move.
6.1.3 Lifting the Unit with Crane
Lift the unit into place installing appropriate hardware
(supplied by others) into all four lifting lugs holes on small
units, and up to 8 on larger cabinets. Use spreader bars
to ensure that the lifting cables clear the sides of the
unit. See Figures 3 - 5. Test lift to 12" [30.5 cm] to check
stability of rigging before completing the lift. Use caution
as the load may be unbalanced. The unit must be kept
level during the lift to prevent tipping, twisting or falling. If
lifted improperly, product damage may occur.
