The method of securing the chipper can
vary depending on the type of carrier and
position of tie down points available on
the carrier. Timberwolf recommend
where possible to secure the machine to
the carrier using correctly rated ratchet
straps directly lashing from 4 points on
the chassis bridge slots as shown.
Securing a Timberwolf chipper ready for
transport must be carried out by
competent qualified personnel. Failure
to observe this procedure could result in
chassis and/or undercarriage damage.
The lifting eye is designed to lift the machine’s weight only. Do not use
hoist hook directly on the lifting eye, use a correctly rated safety shackle.
Inspect the lifting eye prior to each use - DO NOT USE LIFTING EYE IF
DAMAGED.
