When lifting, these towers use 4 lifting straps that are positioned 90 degrees equally around the tower and make sure that lifting straps do not cross over any bolted and fiberglass seamed area. Safety and guideline to be attached to fan motor eye bolt to ensure balance and to keep tower from tipping over.
Model T-2200 through T-3500: These sizes of Cooling Towers need to be lifted with 4 equal lifting straps that are positioned 90 degrees equally around the cooling tower and placed under truss pipes and ring # 1.
