OPERATION MANUAL
2.3 LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
On the day that the machine arrives, make sure that a crane with sufficient capacity is available to
unload the machine from the vehicle. Ensure access to the chosen site is clear and that doors and
ceilings are sufficiently high and wide enough to receive the machine.
To handle the Guillotine, use only the two sling lifting points located on the top of the end plates.
(Fig. 2.3) The slings should be positioned so the machine is level when lifted.
When using slings please take note of the sling angle and the loads that apply
When the slings are at a 45° angle then each sling is carrying
the equivalent of 50% of the load weight. (Fig.2.1).
When the slings are at a 90° angle then each sling will have
a weight equal to 75% of the load on each sling.
(Fig 2.2)
Note!
Metalmaster recommend not to exceed 90° angle

When lifting the machine use only certified lifting slings
Ensure that when lifting, the machine does not tip over.
Check that the lifting slings do not interfere with the hydraulic
pipes or electrical conduits.
Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage to the
machine
