2.0 UNLOADING AND HANDLING
UPS modules are shipped in split cabinets to allow ease of handling. Because the weight distribution
in the cabinets is uneven, use extreme care during handling and transport. Your installation may also
include battery cabinets and a System Control Cabinet.
To reduce the possibility of shipping damage, cabinets are shored with 2-by-4 bracing, secured with
screw-type nails. This shoring must be carefully removed prior to unloading.
NOTE
It is very important that the shipping split sections are matched up to their proper mates, as
identified by the shipping split labels.
Integrated SCC/Switchgear will also be shipped in sections, and require proper match up of
sections, as identified by labels and drawings.

WARNING
Exercise extreme care when handling UPS cabinets to avoid equipment damage or injury to
personnel. The UPS module weight ranges from 16,555 to 17,400 lbs. (7509 to 7893kg).
Battery cabinets weigh from 3060 to 5300 lbs. (1388 to 2404kg).
Locate center of gravity symbols before handling cabinet. Test lift and balance the cabinet
before transporting. Maintain minimum tilt from vertical at all times.
Slots at the base of the modules and battery cabinets are intended for forklift use. Base slots
will support the unit only if the forks are completely beneath the unit.
System Control Cabinets (SCCs)/Switchgear have holes intended for rigging bars or chains
(see your submittal package for switchgear drawings). Prevent chains or cables from
contacting cabinet by using spreader bar and adequate padding.
!
CAUTION
Extreme care is necessary when removing shoring braces. Do not strike cabinet with
hammers or other tools.
