TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or
trolley:
•
The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5
– 2 times
the machines gross weight.
•
Make sure the machine is balanced. While
transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport
area.
•
Use a forklift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks
that are long enough to reach the complete width of
the machine.
•
Remove the securing bolts that attach the
machine to the pallet.
•
Approaching the machine from the side, lift
the machine on the frame taking care that
there are no cables or pipes in the area of
the forks.
•
Move the machine to the required position
and lower gently to the floor.
•
Level the machine so that all the supporting
feet are taking the weight of the machine and
no rocking is taking place.
NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a
truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting
chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
