Big component installation head scratch
Big component installation head scratch
(OP)
Hi. we have a building with a 5m x 4m opening in the side directly next to a road. The opening is for a big 16T chiller unit. The problem is that inside the building there is nothing to lift off and also the chiller has to go on a plynth that is just inside the opening. Has anyone got any ideas how this can be done at all?
Thanks.
Thanks.

How tall is the unit, and what is the height of the plinth relative to the lower edge of the 5mX4m opening?
I think an experienced heavy machinery rigger would have all manner of low profile devices to support and maneuver the HVAC unit.

probably take some prep work creating a "ramp" (slped or flat) from outside the building to the plinth.
the OEM should be able to say if the chiller frame or base is suitable to bear on pipe roller directly, but it may be as simple as securing an oak plank or a length of heavy angle to each side rail.
The few units I've dealt with have had stout pockets for fork lift blades to pass thru. They may offer some possibilities for the use of side mounted dollies if there is minimal head room
