TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
IMPORTANT: 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.
Guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:

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, at least
1.5
– 2 times the machine gross weight, 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 with no rocking.
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 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.
