HANDLING & TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE Suitable overhead lifting gear should be used to move or handle this machine safely. The machine can be attached to the lifting gear using a chain, rope or lifting strap providing it is of sufficient strength to support a weight in excess of the machines total weight.
