Why Choose the ABB EPX-LIFT Lifting Bolt with Accessories?
The ABB EPX-LIFT, manufacturer order code 1SKV311010S0001, is a dedicated lifting bolt with accessories for compatible ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution enclosures. Designed as part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures product range, this lifting accessory supports the handling and positioning of suitable panelboard assemblies during professional installation and equipment assembly operations.
Moving electrical distribution enclosures requires careful planning, particularly where panelboards are large, heavy or difficult to position manually. The ABB EPX-LIFT lifting bolt accessory provides a manufacturer-designated component for approved lifting arrangements, helping panel builders and installation contractors prepare compatible Protecta Power enclosures for controlled handling using appropriate lifting equipment.
The EPX-LIFT is identified in ABB's Protecta Power accessories catalogue as a lifting bolt with accessories. It is listed separately from the EPX-LIFT2 double lifting bolt arrangement, allowing installers to identify the appropriate lifting accessory for the relevant enclosure configuration. Correct selection, installation and use must follow ABB's assembly instructions and the lifting requirements of the complete enclosure.

Supporting Safe Lifting and Positioning of Protecta Power Enclosures
The ABB Protecta Power range provides modular low-voltage electrical distribution panelboards for commercial and industrial applications. The system includes enclosure structures, incoming and outgoing device arrangements, busbar assemblies and dedicated accessories that support the construction and installation of complete electrical distribution equipment.
The ABB EPX-LIFT is listed in ABB's Protecta Power product literature under enclosure accessories as a lifting bolt with accessories. Its purpose is to form part of a suitable lifting arrangement for compatible panelboard enclosures, providing a manufacturer-designated alternative to improvised attachment methods.
During electrical distribution panelboard installation, the complete enclosure may need to be moved from a transport position into its final installation location. Depending on the assembly, this may involve lifting equipment and specially designated lifting attachment points. Using the correct lifting accessory is an important part of preparing the enclosure for the intended handling operation.
The EPX-LIFT should be selected according to the specific Protecta Power enclosure configuration and the relevant ABB installation documentation. The number and arrangement of lifting attachments, the permitted lifting direction and the suitability of the enclosure for lifting depend on the manufacturer's instructions for the complete assembly.
ABB also lists the EPX-LIFT2 double lifting bolt with accessories as a separate Protecta Power product. The EPX-LIFT and EPX-LIFT2 are distinct accessory designations and should not be treated as interchangeable without confirming the applicable enclosure requirements.
The EPX-LIFT is a mechanical lifting accessory, not an electrical protection or switching device. It does not have an electrical current rating, short-circuit breaking capacity or trip function. Its suitability for any lifting operation must be assessed using the manufacturer's approved configuration, the actual enclosure mass and centre of gravity, and the relevant lifting equipment and safety procedures.
Before lifting, installers should verify the condition and correct installation of all lifting components, confirm that the intended lifting arrangement is approved for the assembly and ensure that the lifting equipment is appropriately rated. The product designation alone does not establish a safe working load, thread size or permitted lifting angle; these details must be obtained from the applicable ABB technical instructions.
