Vacuum Lifting
Individual panels can be lifted using a vacuum lifter (clad-boy) with outriggers. An 
alternative method is the use of slings.
The vacuum lifting equipment must be designed to cater for the panels lengths, 
weights and the profile of the top sheet.
8. HANDLING OF THE PANELS
It is important that any dimensional differences between the actual building 
framework and the drawings is resolved prior to the installation of the panels. 
Improper framing alignment can cause difficulty with panel engagement resulting 
in rippling or buckling of the panel faces.
•	
Framing alignment should be checked before panels are installed.
•	
Compare structural and panel installation drawings to ensure roof supports are 
in correct location. 
•	
Carry out an on-site measurement of the support spacing and overall building 
dimensions. 
•	
All supports not in alignment must be corrected by the responsible party before 
panel installation begins.
