Arrival/Off-Loading and
Movement To The Site

2.1 Delivery Check

Check the delivery contents on arrival of
CLCH units in respect of completeness,
and note any damage which may have
occurred. In the event of any damage
being noted, a claim must be made by
return. Only by compliance with this
procedure is it possible to submit an
insurance claim. Any damage must be
noted on the delivery documentation,
dated and signed in the presence of the
delivery driver, and signalled by
registered letter to the last forwarder.

Claims in respect of obvious transport
damage or incompleteness of delivery
cannot be accepted in retrospect. In
the event of any complaints, please
notify the relevant Trane office
immediately, and in writing within 72
hours.

2.1.1. Identification

All Trane CLCH units are identified by the
sales number and manufacturer's works
order number given on the unit ID label.

Be sure to refer to the information given
on the unit identification label when
ordering replacement parts or requesting
service. The nameplate (see Figure 1) is
mounted on the fan-section access side,
and a manufacturer's plate (see Figure 2)
is fixed inside the fan section.

Figure 2 – Manufacturers Plate

2.2 Off Loading

A specific lifting method for offloading the
units is recommended as follows (see
Figure 3):

1) 52 mm-diameter lifting holes, or

certified lifting lugs, are provided on the
unit base frame.

2) ALL LIFTING POINTS in one axis of

the unit must be used when offloading
and moving the unit.

3) Slings and spreader bars are to be

provided by the rigger and attached to
ALL LIFTING POINTS.

4) The minimum rated lifting capacity

(vertical) of each sling and spreader
bar should be no less than the shipping
weight.

5) The unit must be lifted with care,

avoiding shock load by lifting the unit
slowly and evenly.

2.3 Moving To Position On
Site

Trane units are supplied in sections
modules, flat packed, or as a complete
unit, in accordance with the relevant
assembly drawings. Any necessary use
of force during unloading or movement of
the units must only be applied via the unit
base frame or shipping pallet.

NEVER LIFT THE UNITS BY COIL
CONNECTIONS OR BY ANY OTHER
PROTRUSIONS.

THE ROOF IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE
WALKED ON, BUT IF THIS IS
UNAVOIDABLE, ENSURE A MORE
EVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION BY
THE USE OF BOARDS.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.

Movement To The Site

2.4 Forklift Trucks

The forks must only be applied under the
unit base frame and not against the unit
base frame. The lift point should be as
near as possible to the centre of gravity
(see Figures 4 and 4a). In the case of
larger units the use of several forklift
trucks may be required.

2.4.1. Roller Movement

Units fitted with base frames may be
moved on roller trolleys or tubular rollers
(see Figure 5).

3. Foundations and
Erection

3.1 Foundation

When selecting and preparing the unit
site, follow these guidelines:

1. Ensure that the site can support the
total weight of the unit. Unit weight
figures only provide total gross weights
and do not include the additional
weight for water in any coils.

2. Confirm that the foundation of the
mounting platform is large enough to
include the unit dimensions plus
service plus service access.

3. The floor or foundation must be level
for correct coil drainage and
condensate flow.

4. Provide adequate lighting for
maintenance personnel to perform
maintenance duties.

5. When the unit is positioned on site,
there must be sufficient space around
the unit to ensure that correct operation
and effective maintenance can be
carried out. Figure 6 gives
recommended space allowances.

•

On the designated access side of the
unit, working areas must be equal to the
width of the unit, dimension “P.”

•

Allowance for coil connections,
dimension “C” must be dimension “P” +
200 mm.

•

A clear unobstructed area before and
after an air intake or discharge is
required to ensure correct air
movement. The width of the area must
be >= the width of the unit, and the
depth (dimension "L") must be >= 0.5 x
the overall unit height.

Complete reinforced concrete
foundations are suitable or strip
foundations may also be used (see
Figure 7).

In the case of strip foundations, concrete
or steel supports are permissible, but
support is required under breakpoints and
every 2 m along the unit base.

Erection

FAILURE TO PROVIDE A LEVEL
PLINTH OR SUPPORT WILL RESULT
IN DOORS JAMMING AND AIR LEAKS
FROM THE CASING.

3.2 Erection

To minimize noise transmission,
insulation material such as cork slabbing
(TICO pads) may be placed between the
unit base and the foundation (see Figure

8).
