3. Put the base of the load frame on a mat and remove the hoist rings and slings
on the frame base. Slowly raise the load frame to its upright position. As the
unit rises, keep moving the crane to keep the sling as straight as possible.
Note When you raise the load frame erect, no bystanders should be at the
site.
4. Move the load frame to its final location; refer to either “Moving the Load
Frame with a Forklift” on page 27 or “Moving the Load Frame with an
Overhead Crane” on page 28.
Moving the Load Frame with a Forklift
If a fork lift is used, perform the following:
1. Adjust the fork distance and height; make them suitable to extend under the
lower crosshead.
2. Put protective rubber or cloth on the forks and extend them under the lower
crosshead. The two forks should be level and equally loaded.
3. Raise the load frame slowly and steadily to a suitable height and move the
load frame to the foundation slowly and steadily.
