RTN-3020 Series Section Crate Handling Quick Guide

Lift

Use either a forklift or a crane to lift the shipping frames. For single frames, lift from either the forklift pockets with a forklift or from the supplied lift points on the end of the frame with a crane/straps or a spreader beam.

For stacked frames, lift from either the forklift pockets on the top frame with a forklift or from the supplied lift points on the end of the frame with a crane/straps or a spreader beam.

Do not forklift stacked frames from the bottom frame, as this is unstable and could result in serious injury to the operator and/or damage to the product. Refer to Figure 1.

Figure 1: Lift Methods

Ensure the straps are at a minimum 45° angle or greater if using a crane/straps to lift the frames. Refer to Figure 2.

Disassemble

Remove the M12 hardware from the stacked frame support brackets on the frames to separate the top and bottom frames (if applicable). Unstack the frames and remove the stretch wrap and the top horizontal runners from the frames. Refer to Figure 3.

Use the hex security bit (Daktronics part number TH-1170) supplied in the toolkit to unlatch the beverage shroud. Flip the beverage shroud open and insert lift eyes in the top of the first display section. Refer to the RTN-3020 Series Section Basics Quick Guide (DD5638341). Attach the crane to the lift points. Refer to Figure 4 for the section lift order and to Figure 5 for proper configurations.
