5.3.2 Horizontal transfer
1. When the transformer has no protective enclosure and needs to be transferred:
a. If the transformer is equipped with rollers (unconventional configuration), the external traction equipment can be
fixed through the traction hole of the lower clamping piece of the transformer. Afterwards, pull the transformer
horizontally, as shown below.
Note:
• Do not push or pull the high-voltage winding or the delta connection tube.
• Avoid the collision against core and other components, such as fan and grounding terminals.
• The auxiliary rod should be inserted into the traction hole of the transformer to move the transformer by levering the auxiliary
rod when levering the transformer with the lever.
b. If the transformer is not equipped with rollers, forklift trucks are required to transfer the transformer by means of
forklifting the bottom U-bar of the transformer, as shown below.
2. The transformer is equipped with a protective enclosure and it needs to be transferred:
The forklift truck shall be used for transfer according to the forklift sign on the enclosure foundation. Before the
transfer, the forklift arm shall be fully extended into the base, as shown in the following figure.

Warnings:
• Pay attention to the elevated height during forklifting to prevent the overturning
or landing due to unstable center of gravity.
• During lifting and landing of the forklift truck, lifting and landing shall be slow to
avoid hit the transformer hard against the ground.
Warnings:
• Pay attention to the elevated height during forklifting to prevent theoverturning
or landing due to unstable center of gravity.
• Prevent deformation of the enclosure during transfer, which caused by external
force.
