• Pump end only (bare pump)
• Pump less motor
• Pump, motor, & baseplate
Use the following recommended ways of handling HSC pump assemblies.
• The pump assembly should remain horizontal during transport and lifting.
• Lifting the pump end only (bare pump) should be done by placing one end of the
slings around or as close to the casing barrel as possible. After the slings are attached
to the unit, recheck to ensure they are securely in place. Make sure the slings are
adjusted to obtain an even lift.

• Lifting the pump less motor or the pump, motor, & baseplate should be done by
utilizing a forklift under the entire unit. Always take extra precaution to ensure the
weight is balanced & equally distributed across both forks. When the baseplate of the
assembly is structural channel construction, the pump and base plate should be set in
place first. The motor should then be separately lifted & mounted to the unit.
• Pump, base, and driver assemblies where the base length exceeds 100 inches may not
be safe to lift as a complete assembly. Damage to the baseplate may occur. If the
driver has been mounted on the baseplate at the factory, it is safe to lift the entire
assembly. If driver has not been mounted at the factory and the overall baseplate
length exceeds 100 inches, do not lift the entire assembly consisting of pump, base,
and driver. Instead lift the pump and baseplate to its final location without the driver.
Then mount the driver.
