CM-1060 Tank Pallet Handling

CM-1060 pallets hold either 5 or 10 tanks.

Overall Dimensions (for 10-tank pallet)
• Stacked tanks: 134”L x 62”W x 79”H (3.4 m L x 1.6 m L x 2.0 m H)
•  Stacked tanks on pallet: 136”L x 67”W x 86”H (3.5 m L x 1.7 m L x 2.2 m H) 

Weight: 3,600 lbs (1,633 kg) 

A forklift that has the following minimum specifications is needed to safely handle and off 

load the CM-1060 pallet: 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) capacity, 32” (0.81 m) load center, minimum 66” 

(1.68 m) arm and minimum 12’ (3.66 m) pick height. 

The tank halves must be safely removed from the pallet using the Infiltrator Lifting Strap 

Assembly. The  CM-1060  tank  pallets  should  never  be  tipped  over! The Infiltrator 

Lifting  Strap  Assembly  is  sized  to  pick  up  a  maximum  of  4  tank  halves  at  a  time  using 

a  forklift.  The  safety  lock  spring  hooks  are  to  be  connected  to  the  rope  handles  on  the 

end walls of each tank. Set the tank halves on a clean surface to prevent damage or the 

introduction of dirt and debris into the mid-seam area where the gasket, gasket groove, and 

molded-in dowels are located. Set the tank halves on a clean surface, pallet, across several 

4”x4”s, or a tarp to prevent damage or introducing dirt and debris to the mid-seam area 

where the gasket is located.  Never set the tank half with the gasket on any surface with the 

gasket facing downward.

Tank Assembly

1.  Remove all plastic wrap and strapping from the CM-1060 tank and components shipping 

pallet. If serial numbers need to be recorded, Infiltrator recommends recording them while 

the tank halves are stacked on the pallet. The serial number is located at the mid-seam 

on the outlet end.

2.  Using  the  Infiltrator  Lifting  Strap  Assembly,  attach  the  four  lifting  strap  hooks  to 

the  CM-1060  rope  handles,  located  two  on  either  end  of  the  tank  bottom  half. 

Slowly  lift  the  inverted  tank  bottom  straight  up  and  off  of  the  tank  top  nested  below. 

 

WARNING:  TThe  Infiltrator  Lifting  Strap  Assembly  supplied  with  the  starter  kit 

is  sized  to  pick  up  a  maximum  of  four  Infiltrator  tank  halves  at  one  time.  Never  lift 

more  than  four  tank  halves  at  one  time  with  the  Infiltrator  Lifting  Strap  Assembly. 

The  Infiltrator  Lifting  Strap  Assembly  is  intended  for  use  ONLY  with  Infiltrator  tanks 

in  accordance  with  these  instructions;  any  other  use  of  the  Infiltrator  Lifting  Strap 

Assembly  is  prohibited.  Infiltrator  Water  Technologies  will  not  be  liable  for  any 

problems  that  arise  from  unauthorized  use  of  the  Infiltrator  Lifting  Strap  Assembly. 

 

Note: Never set the tank half with the mid-seam area facing downward without the use of 

4”x4”s on a clean surface, pallet, or clean tarp to prevent damage or the introduction of 

dirt and debris into the mid-seam area where the gasket, gasket groove, and molded-in 

dowels are located.  

3. Lift  and  set  the  tank  bottom  half  down  on  4”x4”s  above  a  clean  surface  or  pallet,  to 

prevent damage or the introduction of dirt and debris to the mid-seam area where the 

gasket groove, and molded-in dowels are located.
