Practical and safe method of installing a control panel into its enclosure when a crane isn't available.

Here's a quick overview of the key points:

  • Teamwork is Key: You'll need help to safely lift and position the panel. Clear communication with your team is essential.

  • Mind the Gap: Be extremely aware of the tight space (about finger-width) between the panel and the enclosure's mounting studs.

  • Protect Your Fingers: The video strongly emphasizes the risk of smashed fingers. Always keep your hands clear, especially during the initial placement and final seating.

  • Strategic Insertion: Position one side of the panel onto the studs first to facilitate alignment.

  • Gentle Lowering: The speaker suggests briefly resting the panel on the studs before fully sliding it down, allowing a bit more maneuverability.
