TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by 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.
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or
trolley:
• 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.
• Level the machine so that all the supporting
feet are taking the weight of the machine and
no rocking is taking place.
