Final unpacking of the equipment will preferably take place just before the
switchboard is installed, as close as possible to its final installation location.
As a general guideline, the weight of an average 3200 A cubicle is around 400 kg.
Cubicles should always be handled in the
upright position
with care, if possible
by
2 persons
. There is a risk of overtipping the cubicle due to the high position of the
centre of gravity.
When moving the cubicles, always turn slowly and smoothly, avoiding all bumps and
jerks. Enclosures moved using a forklift truck must be lifted carefully and held in
position or fastened to the forklift truck using slings during transport.
Handling by the bottom
Wooden beams (or framework stabilizers) are generally attached to the base of the
cubicle framework. This allows the cubicles to be moved using a pallet mover or
forklift truck.
d
The forks must be placed symmetrically with respect to the cubicle's axis so as
not to distort the base of the frame.
For cubicles fitted with a plinth, the front and rear base panels must be removed to
allow insertion of the pallet mover forks.
Cubicles must be lifted with care and held in place during transport by strapping
them onto the handling machine, especially for large distances or bumpy terrain.
For a Prisma Plus switchboard with a busbar compartment, lifting points must be
shifted towards the busbars.
