Transportation with Pipe Rollers

Improper Drive Foundation
Ensure that the ground is stable. If the ground is soft, lay a "trackway" by using rails, bars, or
boards. Trackway must not be able to sink causing an un-level surface.
Ensure that the foundation for the drive is level and flat. Any sloping can cause the drive to
tip or fall over.
If the foundation is unstable and/or not level, death, serious injury, or damage to the cabinet
unit may result.
When space constraints prohibit using a crane, lift the cabinet onto rollers.
It is possible to set the enclosure on many parallel pipe sections placed on the floor and then
move it by rolling.
Note
Use thick-walled steel pipes. Other suitable pipes are round steel rods, round timber rods, or
concrete-lined pipes.
Ensure pipes are at least 6 cm (2.36 inches) thick and are at least 1/5 longer than the
transportation unit / cabinet depth.
The pipes must be spaced no more than 45.72 cm (18 inches) apart.
Pipe Rollers Procedure
1. Raise the transportation unit/cabinet.
2. Place pipes under the unit/cabinet.
3. Ensuring that it will not cause damage to the enclosure, use pry-bars, hoists, or a pulley
system when moving the unit/cabinet on rollers.
4. Roll the unit/cabinet to the installation location.
5. Raise the unit/cabinet slightly and remove the pipes.
