Moving E44 and E45(Standing position) Frames

E44 and E45(Standing position ) MTS Exceed load frames should only be moved 
using a forklift (or crane) with a load rating that is double the load frame’s gross 
weight. For frame weights, see 

“Load Frame Dimensions and Weight” 

on page 

19.

The MTS Exceed frames Exceed 40 series are heavy.

Moving the frame using improper procedures can injure personnel (for 
example, strained muscles and back injuries) or damage the frame.

When lifting the frame, take the appropriate precautions to prevent injuries 
to yourself. Moving and positioning the MTS Exceed frame must be 
performed by qualified personnel only.

Before you begin

Before moving the load frame, ensure that:

Your equipment operators have the appropriate licenses and have complied 
with your local safety standards (for example, the appropriate training 
required by OSHA in the U.S.).

At the final site location, there is adequate clearance between the ceiling and 
the top of the load frame, including clearance for lifting the frame via a 
forklift or crane.

There are no loose accessories on the shipping skid.

The frame and forklift (or crane) can fit through all doorways, halls, 
elevators, or stairs located from the shipping dock to the final site location.

The floors from the shipping dock to the final site location have sufficient 
support for the weight of the load frame and forklift (or crane) combined.

You have adequate packaging materials to protect the load frame when 
moving or relocating it to another site.

Equipment

The following items are required by the customer:

A forklift or crane with a load rating that is double the load frame’s gross 
weight (for frame weights, see 

“Load Frame Dimensions and Weight” 

on 

page 19)
