RTN-3020 Series Section Crate Handling Quick Guide

Lift

1. 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 1.1: Strap

Disassemble

   Unstack the frames and remove the stretch wrap and the top horizontal runners from the frames. Refer to Figure 3.Figure 3: Separate and Unstack Frames
2. Use the hex security bit (Daktronics part number TH-1170) supplied in the toolkit to unlatch the beverage shroud.
