F ORKLIFT R EQUIREMENTS
The crate the dyno is shipped in is eight feet long and will be in the truck the long
way. If you have access to a loading dock, you can drag the crate out of the truck and a
large forklift is not required. Without a loading dock, you will need a forklift that
meets the following requirements.
In order to remove the crate from the truck, you will need to provide a forklift with a
lift capacity of 6,124 kg (13,500 lb.) at 61.00 cm (24.00 in.) load center. The lift range
needs to be at least 182.88 cm (72.00 in.) and the forks need to be at least 182.88 cm
(72.00 in.) long or increased to 182.88 cm (72.00 in.) with approved extensions.
Once off of the truck, you will need to provide equipment capable of lifting at least
2,495 kg (5,500 lb.) with 122.00 cm (48.00 in.) forks lifting to a height of at least
182.88 cm (72.00 in.) to lift the crated dyno and to lift the dyno off the crate and into
position in your dyno room. You will also need a pair of straps capable of supporting
the uncrated dyno. Dynojet recommends using single loop style straps. Use an
approved strap lifting attachment for the forklift to prevent strap slippage. To use lift
straps with bare forks is not OSHA compliant.
P HONE AND I NTERNET A CCESS
Dynojet recommends you have a phone close to the dyno to call for assistance in an
emergency. You may also wish to contact Dynojet to troubleshoot your dyno.
Internet access on your computer is desirable for contacting Dynojet and
downloading new information and updates.
T IE -D OWN S TRAPS
Dynojet recommends using tie-down straps for securing the car on the dyno. The
dyno comes with an automotive tie-down package.
