Crane and Sling
•	
A crane can be used to lift either an entire pack of panels onto the roof or place 
individual panels into their final fixing position
•	
When lifting an entire pack of panels it is important to verify that the building 
structure will support the weight of the pack, prior to placing on the roof. Verify 
the exact location(s) where any bundles are allowed to be placed.
•	
Care must be taken to correctly align the sling to the marked lifting points
•	
Panel bundles placed on roof must be secured to roof framing members. Panels 
in opened bundles must be secured to prevent sliding off the roof.	
•	
Set the packs onto the roof in the proper orientation for the erection sequence
•	
A spreader bar must be used to ensure that the load is evenly disturbed.
•	
A spreader bar must be used to ensure that the lifting straps do not squeeze in 
on the panels causing any deformation to the panel’s edges and delamination 
of the skins
•	
Protective blocks are to be used under the slings to ensure that the steel skins 
are not deformed or crushed during the lifting process.
