Access Route Considerations	Yes	No	N/A	Comment
Has the entire access route, including all doors, been checked to ensure there is sufficient clearance for the rack and its packaging, if required?
Are there any stairs, ramps, or thresholds that are of concern? If yes, then provide details.
Are all access route incline angles within the permitted range (under 6 degrees)?
Is the access route free of any obstacles that would expose the equipment to shock?
Are all the surfaces acceptable for rolling the new unpacked and packed equipment?
If a pallet jack is to be used: Can the pallet jack support the weight of the rack? Are the pallet jack tines compatible with the shipping pallet?
If required, is a loading elevator available for the equipment?
If an elevator is to be used: Is the elevator car wide enough for the device to be carried into it? Is the elevator car high enough for the device to be carried into it? Does the elevator door meet the height requirement? Can the elevator car handle the weight of a fully-loaded rack?
Can the access route support the weight of the unpacked rack?
Is the access route onto the raised floor rated for dynamic loading of the rack?
