Lifting instructions for screw compressor units

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Before lifting the unit, make sure that straps/chains are properly secured to lifting eyes/

shackles and that the lifting equipment is in good condition. Also make sure that the lifting ca-

pacity of the crane and the loading capacity of chains, straps, lifting eyes and shackles as a

minimum correspond to the total weight of the unit.

• When lifting the unit, please use the lifting devices on the base frame.

• Always use a yoke (spreader beam) to ensure a vertical lift of the unit (Fig. 1); this will

protect the components and the insulation.

• Do not lift in a single point (Fig. 2).

• The unit must not be lifted in the lifting devices on the compressor block and motor.

• Ensure that: shackle pin minimum diameter = lifting eye diameter / 1.06.
