2. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
If it is not possible to lift using the aforementioned
methods, rollers may be used underneath the
switchgear. Another option is to slide the cubicles
over rods (these same rods can be used to help get
over the cable pit).
To handle 5 functional unit assemblies (consisting
of either coupled modules or compact assemblies
associated with modules), use lifting systems
(slings, lifting beam, etc.) with a pull angle greater
than 65º and less than 115º in order to prevent
possible damage to the cubicles during hoisting.
During transport, the switchgear must be perfectly
seated and fixed so that it cannot move about and
possibly damage the equipment.
The switchgear must always be kept upright, directly
on the ground or on a pallet depending on the type of
handling involved.
To handle assemblies of up to 5 functional units, one
of the following methods must be used:
Using a forklift truck or pallet-jack.
Lifting using slings or chains fixed to the lifting
supports on the sides of the top of the cubicle. The
angle of pull should be as vertical as possible (with an
angle greater than 60º from the horizontal).

The use of lifting beams is required for cubicle
assemblies with control boxes as the sole exception,
slings or chains may be used if the cubicles of the
assembly have identical height control boxes installed.
