Transport by Lift Truck

PowerFlex®
 cabinet-mount products are bolted to shipping skids that facilitate transport by a lift truck. If you are using a lift truck, see the following procedure.
ATTENTION:
Risk of equipment damage exists.
Verify that the lift truck can handle the weight and size of the drive safely. Shipment weights can be found on the packing slip that is included with each shipment.
  1. Lift only from underneath the shipping skid. Position the
    PowerFlex®
     product on the forks so that the load is balanced and does not tilt.
    PowerFlex®
     products are top- and front-heavy.
    IMPORTANT: The use of a belt is to help prevent the load from slipping forward during a sudden stop. Do not excessively tighten the belt. Belt tension must not bend, buckle, or otherwise distort the enclosure.
  2. Keep the load against the load backrest of the lift truck. Use a belt to secure the
    PowerFlex®
     product to the lift truck. Tilt the load a few degrees backward toward the lift truck mast.
  3. Start and stop the lift truck gradually and slowly to avoid jerky movements. When traveling with the load, drive slowly with the forks carried as low as possible, consistent with safe operation.
    IMPORTANT: The use of a belt is to help prevent the load from slipping forward during a sudden stop. Do not excessively tighten the belt. Belt tension must not bend, buckle, or otherwise distort the enclosure.
