TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING

CAUTION:
skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift
the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well
balanced. Choose a location that will keep the machine free from vibration and dust
from other machinery. Keep in mind that having a large clearance area around the
machine is important for safe and efficient working conditions.
Follow these guidelines when lifting:
• Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting
holes provided at the top of the machine.
• Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable
of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the machine.
• Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
• Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an
inch or two.
• Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or
quick changes of direction.
• Locate the machine where it is to be installed, then
lower slowly until it touches the floor.
• The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 – 2
times the machines gross weight.
• Make sure the machine is balanced. While
transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the
transport area.
• Use a forklift with sufficient lifting capacity and
forks that are long enough to reach the complete
width of the machine.
• Remove the securing bolts that attach the
machine to the pallet.
• Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
• Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
