Accessories; Lifting Hook - ABB AMVAC Installation And Operation Manual

L H :
IFTING OOK
The lifting hook is specifically designed for general lifting and lowering of the vacuum circuit breaker, from shipping
pallets or for lifting onto and off of work tables. The lifting hook is not designed to be used for insertion or removal of the
circuit breaker from the switchgear compartment, instead, the use of an appropriate lift truck is required or serious
damage to the breaker may occur.
There are two types of lifting hooks available,
1) Chain - The chain type lifting hook is designed to attach to the circuit breaker in the long oval holes on each side of
the frame (see lifting hook detail). This lifting hook is more compact and easier to store than the metal frame style.
2) Metal frame - The metal frame lifting hook is designed to attach to the circuit breaker in the long oval holes as well
as the additional mounting point on each side. This lifting hook provides for more level transfer of the circuit breaker but
is less compact than the chain style.
