Lifting Equipment Racks Chapter 2: Installing the Simulcast Subsystem Hardware
Lifting Equipment Racks
Lifting Equipment Racks Horizontally
In some cases, the equipment racks are laid down horizontal to facilitate the shipping process. Use
the appropriate lifting apparatus to lift the racks upright to comply with all applicable health and
safety regulations, and any other regulations applicable to lifting heavy equipment.
Do not use the eyenuts mounted on the top of the rack to lift the rack upright from horizontal position.
The eyenuts are designed only to support and lift equipment in its normal vertical position.
Crush hazard could result in death, personal injury, or equipment damage. Do
not use the eyenuts m ounted on the top of the rack to lift the rack upright from
horizontal position. Eyelets could fail, resulting in the equipment dropping.
Lifting Equipment Racks Vertically
Each equipment rack comes with four M10 eyenuts mounted in the top of the rack. Use these
eyenuts to lift the equipment rack vertically. Before using these eyenuts, visually check them
and the rack hardware for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any damage
is apparent, do not use. Contact Motorola for replacement parts or material.
Do not use the eyenuts if damage is apparent. Eyenuts could fail, resulting
in the equipment dropping. Contact Motorola for replacements.
Use all four eyenuts when lifting the equipment rack. When lifting from a center point, the distance
from each eyenut to the lifting point must be a minimum of 1 m (40 in.) to ensure that the proper
lifting angle is maintained. Using a shorter length than that specified could cause the eyenuts to fail.
Figure 2-1 shows the minimum lengths and proper 45 degree lifting angles using the eyenuts.
If eyenuts are removed or become loose, install them properly before lifting the equipment rack.
Tighten the eyenuts and bolt assembly by hand. Turn the bolt clockwise an additional 45 degrees.
Eyenuts must be aligned to point towards the center lifting point of the cabinet and tightened to
10.2 to 13.6 Nm (90 to 120 lb-in.) of torque. Proper eyenut tightness and alignment are crucial
to ensure the eyenut assembly performs to its intended lifting capacity.
Figure 2-2 shows the proper alignment of the eyenuts.
