OPERATION MANUAL
2.3 LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
On the day that the machine arrives, make sure that a crane with sufficient capacity is available to
unload the machine from the vehicle. Make sure access to the chosen site is clear and that doors and
ceilings are sufficiently high and wide enough to receive the machine.
To handle the Guillotine, use only the two sling lifting points located on the top of the end plates.
(Fig. 2.3) The slings should be positioned so the machine is level when lifted.
When using slings please take note of the sling angle and the loads that apply
When the slings are at a 45° angle then each sling will carry
the equivalent of 50% of load weight. (Fig.2.1).
When the slings are at a 90° angle then each sling will carry
the equivalent of 75% of the load weight on each sling.
(Fig 2.2)
Note!
Metalmaster recommend not to exceed 90° angle

When lifting the machine only use the lifting points on the machine.
(Fig. 2.3) and sling as per diagram below. (Fig. 2.4) Ensure that when
lifting, the machine does not tip over.
Check that the lifting slings do not interfere with the hydraulic pipes or
electrical conduits. Certified lifting slings only should be used.
Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage to the machine
