Lifting with a crane
Lifting and moving the bar feeder with a crane is possible if a forklift is not available. The crane
must be capable of lifting at least 1,100 lbs. The machine should only be moved by personnel
qualified in the operation of the crane. Two padded lifting bars that extend at least 12 inches
past the sides of the cabinet are required. Ideally the lifting bars will have eyebolts attached.
The lifting bars are placed under the pan of the bar feeder next to the electrical cabinet (see
diagram). The lifting straps or chains should be padded to prevent damage to the sheet metal
covers. The machine should be lifted slowly a short distance. The balance should be checked
and adjusted if necessary before continuing. Never lift the machine higher than necessary.
