If possible, transport the Liebert DS with a forklift or pallet jacks. If that is not possible, use a crane
with belts or cables, slings and spreader bars.
• If using a forklift or pallet jack, make sure that the forks (if adjustable) are spread to the widest
allowable distance that will fit under the skid.
Ensure the fork length is suitable for the unit length.
• When moving the packaged Liebert DS with a forklift, lift the unit from the designated “heavy
side” of the unit no higher than 6" (152mm) off the ground. Ensure that the opposite end still
touches the ground.
• The unit is to be pulled by the forklift—If the unit must be lifted higher than 6" (152mm) great
care must be exercised: Personnel who are not directly involved in moving the unit must be kept
20' (5m) or farther from the lift point of the unit.
• Always refer to the location of the center of gravity indicators when lifting the Liebert DS (see
Figure 36).
