Triplet Shipping Container Issues




Triplet Container arrived in a horizontal position. The trucker said he used 12 guys to tip it over and lay it on its side because it would not fit in his trailer. Battery cabinet thankfully remained vertical.


We righted the Triplet Container with a forklift. Step one...


Two...


Three...


Thankfully, no buzzing noises emenated from the obelisk.


As our loading dock is still under construction we had to move it into the datacenter with a forklift. NOTE: a 16' tie-down is required to secure the Triplet Container.

Opening the side door. This should be a ramp, but…


It has no hinge, nor was there a way to use it as a ramp as it is too wide to lay on the edge of the internal ledge, which would allow the Triplet wheels to roll out of the shipping container.


Removing the 2"x6" bumper.

Oh look, the OTHER side has a hinged panel that seems ramp-like!

The push side, plus the useless ramp, with the 2"x6" bumper deployed as a "stair" to ease the roll-out... that is IF we could roll it out.


Maybe the bumpers are ramps? No.

Forklift was the only way we could remove the triplet from the container.


Forklift gets it done.
