Forklifting Considerations

NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
Do not use a fork lift on air handlers or subassemblies larger than size 30. Improper use of fork
lifts on units larger than size 30 may result in equipment damage. Trane is not responsible for
equipment damage resulting from improper forklifting practices.
Forklifting Units
Attached to Skids
While attached to the skids,
units or sub-assemblies should
be lifted with forks that are
40 inches or longer—only
while attached to the skid. The
forks should not contact the
bottom of the air handler (see
Figure 5 and Figure 6). To
reduce the risk of equipment
damage, units should only be
lifted on the proper end
identified by the lifting label on
the modules.
Forklifting Units with
Base Rail
A forklift may be used to lift
single modules or small sub-
assemblies with base rails,
providing the forks extend
under both ends of the base
rail. Units should only be lifted
from the proper end identified
by the lifting label on the
modules.

Unit Placement and Assembly

If the M-Series unit ships in subassemblies or as individual modules, some assembly is required,
including:
•
•
Note: Base rails are shipped attached to the modules/subassemblies as standard. Base rails ship
