Lifting and Moving the Load Unit
This section describes how to lift and move the Series 370 Load Unit.
Overview
You will need a fork lift or overhead crane capable of lifting the load unit. Ensure that the lifting equipment
can accommodate the weight of the load unit (see the following table).
Warning:
The load unit is heavy.
The weight of the load unit can seriously hurt you and damage your load unit.
Do not allow the load unit to drop or topple.
Make sure that your chains, slings, and crane have a working capacity greater than the load
unit’s weight.
Make sure that the lifting hoist rings are tight.
Make sure that the crosshead locking bolts are fully tightened.
Lift the load unit only high enough to clear its pallet.
Operate the crane smoothly to prevent breaking shocks to the sling.
Note:
The following weight specifications are for lifting and moving purposes. The weight of accessories and
special fixtures must be added. The actual shipping weight must be determined by a scale.
