How to Safely Handle and Install Large Enclosures

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely handling and installing large enclosures to minimize the risk of injury and damage.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Forklift, Chain or strap for securing, ROLL•A•LIFT™ (if applicable)

Supplies needed:

3000 lb-rated chain or strap, Eye bolts for securing

  1. Prepare the area for movement

    Ensure the route is clear of obstructions and that all workers are positioned at a safe distance, more than the overall height of the enclosure.

  2. Secure the enclosure for transport

    Insert a 3000 lb-rated chain or strap through the eye bolts on top of the enclosure and securely fasten it to the forklift mast assembly to prevent tipping.

  3. Lift and transport the enclosure

    Using the forklift, lift the enclosure a minimum distance so that the skid is just clear of the floor, ensuring that the load is stable and secure before moving.

  4. Unload the enclosure safely

    Tilt the forklift mast to take weight off the opposite end of the enclosure and slide or push the enclosure as required to unload it safely.

  5. Final positioning

    Carefully position the enclosure in its final location, ensuring it is stable and secure before removing any securing chains or straps.
