TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
IMPORTANT:
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 fork lift 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.
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:
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, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.
