Pump Tanks 

Chapter 3: Installation 

10 of 36 

 

 

Rig the pump tank from the frame only and use spreader bars to prevent load transfer to any 
pump tank components. Rig the frame from at least four points and balance the load before 
lifting to clear the skid. 

Consider the following points when locating your pump tank: 

•  Locate close to the chillers and/or cooling towers and the process itself to minimize 

field piping expense 

•  Locate adjacent to drain and city water sources 
•  Consult a structural engineer to assure that the floor, mounting pad, or structural steel 

support is of adequate strength 

Due to the large size and weight of the pump tanks, we recommend professional rigging and 
installation. We have a nationwide installation organization that can install your system. 

Do not remove the base skid until the unit is at the final location. Lower the unit (do not drop 
it) from any truck, platform, or shipping dock. 

All 150 through 400 Series pump tanks are provided with lifting lugs on the pump tank 
frame. All 500 Series and larger tanks are provided with lifting lug brackets on the pump tank 
body. When lifting, use adequately rated hoist, lifting straps and/or chains. Avoid transferring 
the load to the pumps and any other components. 

Metal pump tanks are provided with slots in the frame for use with fork trucks of sufficient 
capacity and properly sized forks.
