LIFTING
The generating set should only be lifted using the designated lifting points or the fork
pockets where provided.
Do not lift the unit by the alternator or engine lifting eyes. These are designed only to
carry the weight of the specific unit (engine or alternator) and not for the weight of the
fully assembled generating set.

IMPORTANT
Always ensure that lifting equipment is rated to lift the load. Weights are
shown on the generator rating plate on the side of the control panel. These
weights exclude fuel, and while both the fork pockets and lifting frame are
rated to allow lifting including fuel, the operator needs to ensure that they
have adequate lifting capacity.

use of a spreader beam is

For movement on site the optional fork pockets enable the generating set to be lifted and
shifted by forklift or telescopic handler. The fork pockets are sized and spaced to allow lifting
by equipment with a standard fork carriage.
