Moving Single-Column Frames
MTS Insight™ Material Testing System Installation 37
With one person holding onto the frame and one person operating the pallet jack,
move the frame to its final position. Tip the frame as you did when you put it on
the pallet jack and pull the pallet jack out from under the frame. Carefully lower
the frame back to its normal upright position.
The MTS Insight frames are heavy.
Moving the frame using improper procedures can injure personnel (for
example strained muscles and back injuries) or damage the frame.
When lifting the frame, take the appropriate precautions to prevent injuries to
yourself. Moving and positioning the MTS Insight frame must be performed by
qualified personnel only.
In some cases, the final frame position will be on top of a table. Make sure you
have enough help or appropriate lifting devices.
Ensure any table upon which the frame is placed is sturdy, level, and capable of
supporting the weight of the machine.
