Has the access route been checked for clearances of the rack, in particular, the minimum width and height requirements for all doors on the route?

Dimensions of the packaged rack:

  • Height: 2159 mm (85 inches)

  • Width: 1219 mm (48 inches)

  • Depth: 1575 mm (62 inches)

Dimensions of the unpackaged rack:

  • Height: 1998 mm (78.66 inches)

  • Width: 600 mm with side panels (23.62 inches)

  • Depth 1200 mm (47.24 inches)

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 (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 there are stairs, 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?
