Installation
Most Most Ryson Spirals are shipped in one piece pre-assembled and pre-tested, thereby drastically reducing the time and cost of installation. Certain spirals will for shipping purposes be delivered with some components detached. They include spirals equipped with extended in-feed and out-feed tangents or spirals with a diameter larger than 8 feet. Consult the manual supplied with your spiral for more information. All spirals are shipped in an A-frame equipped with casters. This facilitates easy unloading and transfer to the installation area. Two reinforced fork pockets are provided in the center tube at the bottom end of each spiral. These pockets are clearly marked and will safely facilitate horizontal forklift handling. The top end of the center tube is used for rigging when standing up the spirals.

Spirals shorter than 16 feet

1. Unloading Spiral
Only use the two reinforced fork pockets provided in the bottom end of the center tube when unloading and transporting the spiral.

Caution: Check to make sure all slings and straps are properly secured before lifting.
