Lifting and moving cabinets...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................PurposeRadio cabinets are usually shipped to the customer via truck and delivered to theinstallation site. During installation, it may be necessary to lift the radio cabinet andmove it to a new location. This section describes how to safely lift a radio cabinet.Perform the procedures in this chapter to lift and move the radio cabinet.Lifting machineryTo lift the cabinet, do one of the following:•Use a forklift with forks that are at least 4 feet long to lift a cabinet that is attachedto a pallet, from the bottom.•Install lifting eyebolts on the top of the cabinet, and use a derrick and slings to liftthe cabinet from its top.Safety precautions for using lifting machineryWARNINGPersonnel injury or equipment damageCabinets are too heavy to move without appropriate lifting devices.Derrick equipment or a forklift must be used to lift the cabinet. Do not attempt to movethe cabinet manually, or remove it from the pallet manually.Comply with the following guidelines when using lifting machinery:•Only operators who are specifically trained and meet company requirements shouldbe permitted to operate derrick or forklift equipment.•All persons working with derricks or forklifts must wear standard safety headgear,footwear, eye protection, and insulated gloves (if required).•Do not operate a derrick until both stabilizers are extended and firmly supported.Do not extend stabilizers after a load is suspended from the derrick.•While raising the derrick from the stowed position, be alert for overheadobstructions, such as power lines, that may interfere.•At all times, keep bystanders away from the work area.•Operators must not suspend loads over people, nor can any person be permitted towork, stand, or pass under a suspended load.•When a cabinet is being lifted with slings, it is unsafe to lift the cabinet whenlifting sling angle is less than 45 degrees to the top of the cabinet.Transport, mount, and ground cabinet...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................4-14 Alcatel-Lucent - ProprietarySee notice on first page 401-703-444Issue 4, November 2007

Guidelines for using a derrickWhen a derrick is used to move a cabinet, lifting eyebolts and slings are used to attachthe cabinet to the derrick.Lifting eyeboltsFour R-ITE-6110 M12 lifting eyebolts are screwed into the eyebolt holes on the top ofthe cabinet, as shown in the following figure.Position each lifting eyebolt so that the plane of the eyebolt points at the center of thetop of the cabinet, as shown in the previous figure. When this is done, and the load isapplied, the plane of the eyebolt will align with the load. Eyebolts that are not alignedwith the load can bend as the load pulls on them sideways.Observe the following guidelines about lifting eyebolts:•The eyebolts screw into factory-installed nuts on top of the cabinet. These nutsmust be held in position while the lifting eyebolt is screwed in. If this is not done,the nut can become loose and allow water to leak into the cabinet.•Do not overtighten the lifting eyebolt.•The shoulder of the lifting eyebolt must be properly seated (should bear firmlyagainst the mating part). If it is not, the working loads must be reducedsubstantially. A steel washer or spacer may be required for proper seating.•Tightness and seating must be checked after initial load.•Lifting eyebolts should never be painted or otherwise coated, because such coatingswill cover up flaws.TOP VIEWHoles forLifting EyeboltsTOP VIEWLifting EyeboltPlane ofEyeboltTransport, mount, and ground cabinetLifting and moving cabinets....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................401-703-444Issue 4, November 2007 Alcatel-Lucent - ProprietarySee notice on first page 4-15

SlingsAttach the slings to the boom line with a B connecting link or clevis. Attach the otherends of the slings to the lifting eyebolts with a B connecting link or clevis.When a cabinet is being lifted with slings, it is unsafe to lift the cabinet when thelifting sling angle is less than 45 degrees to the top of the cabinet. At closer than 45degrees, there is too much side stress on the lifting eyebolts. Use slings that are longenough to keep the lifting sling angle at greater than 45 degrees from the top of thecabinet.Control the cabinet while it is being liftedCAUTIONWhen Moving CabinetWhen moving a cabinet in the following procedures, do not tilt the cabinet beyond 30degrees from vertical. Do not stand under the cabinet.A rope tied to the pallet attached to the cabinet should be used to guide the cabinetwhile it is being lifted. The rope must be sufficiently long. As the cabinet is beinglifted and transported, use the rope to guide the cabinet and prevent the cabinet fromtilting or swinging.Always lift cabinets carefully, and keep the boom line tight to prevent the cabinet fromtipping while it is moving. At the end of the lift, slowly place the cabinet on theground.Unsafe if lifting sling angle isless than 45 degreesto the top of the cabinet.Lifting slingangleBoom lineB connecting link or clevisSlingsLiftingEyeboltSlingsTransport, mount, and ground cabinetLifting and moving cabinets....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................4-16 Alcatel-Lucent - ProprietarySee notice on first page 401-703-444Issue 4, November 2007
