Transportation with Strap and Cradle
The strap and cradle method of transportation employs the use of fabric slings to lift cabinets.
The length and strength of the slings are crucial to this method of transportation.
Improper Use of Strap and Cradle
Ensure that the load carrying capacity of the hoisting equipment is adequate for the weight
specified in the order specific lifting diagram furnished by Siemens.
Death or serious injury to personnel, or damage to the cabinet/unit may result if the load
carrying capacity of the equipment is inadequate.
Potential Damage to Drive Cabinets
To prevent buckling of the drive cabinets, the slings must be of adequate length; and, spreader
bars must be of appropriate strength.
Strap and Cradle Procedure
Note
Weight of Populated Drives
Exact weights of systems will vary based on the ratings of the drive and the included options.
For customized drives having switchgear or transitions cabinets, refer to the project drawings
supplied with the drive.
Center of Gravity Offset
Units with more than one cabinet including the transformer cabinet have a significantly offset
center of gravity. This center of gravity is skewed toward the transformer unit/cabinet.
Ensure great care is taken when determining the length and positions of the lifting straps.
Death or serious injury to personnel, or damage to the cabinet/unit may result if the load
carrying capacity of the equipment is inadequate.
Lifting Unit with Filters
Place blocks of wood encased in bubble wrap between the cabinet and the straps. The
following photographs show additional lifting views with typical block placements.
