Prepare to move cabinet

You prepare to move the cabinet from its location in your receiving area by estimating its total weight, acclimating the cabinet, removing the packing materials, and checking the shipping contents.

Steps

  1. Estimate cabinet weight
    The cabinet reliably and safely transports up to 909.1 kg (2000 lb) of capacity. You need to know the approximate weight of the cabinet so that you can safely move it.
  2. Acclimate cabinet
    Make sure that the cabinet and the trays are acclimated to the indoor environment before removing the packing materials.
  3. Remove packing materials
    Remove the packing materials only after the cabinet has acclimated to the indoor temperature.
  4. Checking shipping contents
    Check the shipping contents to make sure that all equipment arrived at the site.
  5. Remove heavy components from cabinet
    Remove some of the heavier components that are located in the top of the cabinet to ensure maximum stability.
