2) Only non-metal slings must be used. These must be used in conjunction with a
lifting frame / beam to ensure an even load distribution and correct positioning of
slings. Wooden packing pieces must be inserted between the sling and the
framework to avoid damage.
3) When units are mounted on a wooden pallet, they may be lifted either by a crane or
a fork lift truck, provided, in the case of the latter; it is within the limits of normal
good handling procedures.
4) The channel base, fitted underneath each section, is drilled to accept lifting bars.
When bars are used they must be mechanically locked in position to ensure that
they cannot move. The bars themselves must be both adequately sized and tested
to ensure that they are capable of safely handling the weight of the section. (See
Diagram 1)
5) All sections, particularly the fan sections, must remain level during lifting or
manhandling.
Under no circumstances should they be tilted onto their side.
6) If sections are either too heavy or too wide to use lifting bars then the channel base
is fitted with bolt on lifting brackets. Again non metal slings and lifting frame / beam
are to be used as stated above.
Location
When locating the Air Handling Unit ensure that:-
1)
Sufficient space exists around the sections to enable them to be manoeuvred into
their final location.
2)
Sufficient space exists around the unit to enable the filters to be removed and
access can be gained where required. It is recommended that full unit width
access be provided on one side of the unit adjacent to the fan and coil sections.
This is to enable the fans and coils to be removed should ever a fault develop.
3)
The unit is installed at a height that allows the installation of the condensate drain
trap.
4)
Supports are adequate for the weight of the unit.
5)
The plinth, or fixing frame, upon which the unit is to be sited is firm and level. If not
then use packing shims to level the unit when locating.
