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 fork lift 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.
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:
•
Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting holes provided at the top of the machine.
•
Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the
machine.
•
Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
•
Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
•
Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
•
Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.
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.
