UNLOADING THE CABINET(S)
The following tools are required for unloading the cabinet(s):
Wrenches for 3/8” lag bolts.
Forklift or pallet jack
Phillips screwdriver
The Battery cabinets are heavy (see
Table 2
). Unloading the cabinets requires at
least two people to safely remove the cabinets from the pallet.
To remove the battery cabinet from the ship pallet:
1.
Make sure the forklift is rated for the cabinet weight.
2.
Make sure the path traveled has sufficient support for the combined weight of the
forklift and the battery cabinet.
3.
Make sure forks are at maximum separation.
4.
Use a very strong ratchet strap (or similar device) of sufficient strength to tie the
upper part of the cabinet to the forklift tower before moving.
5.
Keep people out of the fall zone. If the cabinet topples over, stand clear.
6.
Remove all banding, wrapping and foam protection.
7.
Remove the six 3/8” lag bolts securing the cabinet to the pallet. (See
Figure 2
)
Figure 2 - Pallet Mounting Hardware
8.
Lift the cabinet with a forklift one to two inches (1”-2” [2.5-5cm]) above the pallet.
9.
Slide the pallet completely away from the raised cabinet.
