4 Transporting.
The TPW Woolpress is supplied on transport skids. It is advisable to use the transport skids
whenever practicable when transporting the woolpress.
Ensure that there is no load on the load cell or wheels and the hydraulic cylinder is lowered.
A Woolpress Trolley is available, to enable easy movement from shed to shed. The trolley
should only be used when it is safe to do so.
When moving the press with the transport skids fitted it is advisable to:
➢
Use only a forklift truck that is adequate for the task.
➢
Use only a driver qualified to operate the forklift truck.
➢
Only move over a stable, level surface.
➢
Lift only from the bottom of the woolpress between the transport skids and the base of
the press.
➢
Lift only from the front or rear of the woolpress.
➢
Spread the forks as wide as possible within this space.
➢
Ensure that the woolpress is fully on the forks before lifting.
➢
Keep the woolpress as close to the ground as possible when moving.
➢
Move no faster than walking pace.
➢
Take care when turning corners and stopping as the woolpress may slide on the forks.
➢
Lower the woolpress gently.
➢
Only lower the woolpress onto a stable, level surface.
Because of the woolpresses height and centre of gravity when the hydraulic cylinder is in its
operating position it can be unstable when being moved, for this reason it is advisable to
fold the cylinder down when transporting.
Even when the cylinder is folded down care needs to be taken when transporting.
When the press is delivered from the factory the cylinder will be in the folded down position.
