Lifting and Moving Instructions
This manual provides guidelines for lifting and moving your MTS Criterion
material testing system.
Unless otherwise specified, it is your responsibility to safely off-load, unpack,
and move the equipment to the final location on your premises. Equipment
insurance is also your responsibility.
Before moving the equipment from the receiving area to its final location, check
the dimensions of all doors and passages through which the machine will travel.
For dimensions, see “Packaging Dimensions and Weights” on page 6 and “Load
Frame Dimensions and Weights” on page 7.

The MTS Criterion frames are heavy.
Moving the frame using improper procedures can injure personnel (for
example, strained muscles and back injuries) or damage the frame.
Moving and positioning the MTS Criterion frame must be performed by
personnel trained in moving large equipment.
MTS Criterion frames weigh from 60–3500 kg (132–7716 lb). Other apparatus
such as the pallet, packaging, and accessories add to the overall weight. If you
have any questions, call MTS.
