Lifting With Lifting Plates - ABB ACS5000 User Manual

4.5.2. Lifting with lifting plates

Lifting plates are factory-installed on the base frame of transport units.
CAUTION
Risk of tipping! The following procedure requires a crane with a lift frame or a
spreader frame. If you do not have this equipment:
→ Ensure that the slope angle of the slings DOES NOT exceed 15° (7, Fig. 4–2).
1. Verify that the factory torque marks on the
mounting bolts and washers of the lifting plates
are aligned.
If the marks are not aligned or are not visible,
tighten the mounting bolt to the torque that is
specified in Table 3.
2. Attach slings to the lifting plates (1) with load-
appropriate shackles (2) or safety hooks.
CAUTION! DO NOT run a sling through the hole
of a lifting plate!
Referring to Fig. 33, page 63:
3. Wrap a sling horizontally around the upper ⅓ of the load height and secure in place with
vertical slings.
4. Protect the edges and other protrusions on the load from direct contact with the lifting
gear, eg slings.
5. Lift the load slowly and steadily, with no abrupt stops, in an upright position to the
required clearance height.
CAUTION! Keep an eye on the horizontal position of the load and reposition the slings when
necessary.
