Receiving and Handling
When you receive your
hoist
, it will come banded to one or two pieces, and you will
need a forklift to unload it. You can rent a forklift from most tool rental companies, and
have it delivered to your home, but make sure it has the capacity to lift
approximately
1000Kgs
. Also, if you are going to use the forklift to erect your
hoist
,
make sure it will fit through your garage door. Many common
hoists
have a mast that
is about
2255mm
high, and most residential garage door openings are
2.2 metres
high. Smaller forklifts with adequate lifting capacity do exist, but you may have to look
around to find the right one to rent. An alternative is to rent a standard forklift to
unload the
hoist
and move the parts to the garage, and do the actual assembly inside
the garage with a rented engine
crane
. Your
hoist
will travel from the manufacturer via
a flatbed tractor trailer to a trucking center in or near your city, and then be transferred
to a box (enclosed) truck for final transport to your home. You will be contacted by
the trucking firm prior to delivery. Make sure they know the
hoist
is being delivered
to a residential area that will accommodate the delivery truck, and try to arrange for
the
hoist
to be loaded cross-wise on the back of the truck so it will be easy to unload
with the forklift. If the
hoist
is loaded length-wise in the truck, it will be more difficult to
unload. Alternatively, you can ask the trucking company
