If a panel cannot be set in its final position after lifting, what should be done?

• A. Lower it to ground and abandon
• B. Use a second crane to reposition
• C. Remove the lifting inserts and restart
• D. Walk the panel to the final position

Answer: (D)

When you can’t place a panel exactly where it needs to be after it’s lifted, the safest and most controlled option is to walk the panel into its final position. Keeping the panel supported and guided by the lifting rig and using tag lines and temporary braces allows you to make precise, incremental adjustments without re-handling from the ground or re-staging. This reduces swing, maintains stability, and avoids the extra risks and time of removing lifting hardware or bringing in a second crane.
