Warning The weight of the machine without packaging is
approximately 1100 lbs. Only trained operators are to use lifting
equipment. Verify the equipment to be used for moving the machine is rated

Lifting and moving the bar feeder by forklift is the preferred method of handling the machine.
The machine should be moved only by personnel qualified in the operation of forklifts. The
forks must extend past the machine cabinet, see the drawings below. Lift the machine from the
side opposite the magazine maintaining sufficient clearance from the forklift mast to avoid
contact. Care should be taken to keep the load balanced. Do not lift the machine any higher
than necessary.
