A raised access flooring panel should only be lifted using the correct lifting device (vacuum lifter or spiked carpet lifter). Panels should be lifted vertically with no hinging movement. Replacement should be a similar motion ensuring the panel is resting correctly on the pedestal. Pedestals can be damaged easily if they are left completely exposed, therefore only single rows of floor panels should be moved at any one time.
How should a raised access floor be used?
