FURNACE – UNLOADING & MOVING
Continued:
Methods of moving the Furnace
The furnace has been designed it to be lifted and transported using a fork lift truck utilizing 2 (two) differ-
ent methods.
Method 1: Lifting the furnace from the bottom
When moving the furnace from the bottom it is important that the forks be spread as wide as possible to
fit between the base plates .The unit should be centered on the forks so as the load is safely distributed
and the furnace is stable. To prevent damage to the piping and components mounted on the back of the
furnace, the front of the furnace (Loading door side) should face the lift truck.
(See figure 1)
This is im-
portant should the furnace contact the lift truck during the installation. Keep the load level while lifting
and only raise the unit as high as necessary to allow safe movement. Avoid any sudden jerky move-
ments and maneuvers, drive slowly and make any turns with caution.
Never stand under or in the path of the load while moving the furnace!
The operation of a fork lift truck should be performed by a professional
driver who has been trained in the safety and handling of this type of
vehicle.
