Rack Transport Stability Team (RTST)Use of Lift Gates, Safer PracticesVerify adequate lift weight capacity! Recommend 1800-2500 kg or greater (4000 – 5500 lbs.)for configured rack server products. Check the capacity! Remember to include safety factorfor the weight of up to 4 people that may be standing on the lift gate with the product.Rack style products are continually getting larger and heavier!30
Rack Transport Stability Team (RTST)Proper Use of Fork Lifts• Another common cause of product instability is themovement of a rack product with a fork lift.• Product should always remain packaged as long as possibleincluding movement off the delivery truck and into the client’sfacility.• When on the fork lift, secure the product to the MAST of theforklift with logistics straps positioned as high as feasible formaximum leverage and control. Use blanket protection forany exposed surfaces of the machine.• Avoid handling the product on the extreme tips of the forks.Product should be up against the mast of the fork lift.• Lift the product as little as possible off the floor and then tilt themast towards the driver for additional stability.• Do not exceed 3.6 km per hour driving speed (2.2mph). Beespecially slow when turning a corner! Above speeds assumea turning radius of 2meters or greater.• Be aware of the load BEHIND the one you are lifting. Forksoften spear the load behind causing puncture damages.• Widen fork position as much as possible for stability.• Do not use extra long forks to move two racks at once.New IconMast Strap Product31
