4 Battery Rack Assembly and Installation Manual
Shipping and Receiving

Shipping

Rack assemblies are shipped in corrugated boxes. Battery cables, battery boots, terminal blocks, and
labels are also included in the shipment. Each pallet can support a maximum of two (2) units. Boxes
are shrink-wrapped to the pallet for added stability.
Batteries are shipped separately, and shrink wrapped to their pallet as well.

Receiving

Check for damages.
1. Upon receipt, inspect the boxes for obvious signs of rough handling.
2. Remove shrink wrap, open boxes, and conduct an internal inspection of the equipment.
Keep boxes on pallet for transportation to installation site.
3. Record any damages and call the carrier immediately to allow their personnel to conduct an
equipment inspection.
– DO NOT contact APC first—notify the carrier instead. Otherwise, APC may be unable to
assist in recovering the realized amount of the claim.
– All damage claims should be as specific as possible. Information pertaining to the shipment
should appear on the shipping label and related paperwork.
– BE SURE to request a copy of the carrier’s inspection report!
Check for discrepancies. Make certain the shipment has arrived in its entirety. Compare
information from the shipping label/parts list against what has been received. If any part is missing or
might have been damaged prior to shipping, contact APC immediately.
