Unloading
Be sure the truck is on level ground, preferably concrete.
Centering components:
Be sure and center fork truck or chains (overhead hoist) on
components so they won’t slide and cause injury.
1. Check the serial number on the mainframe against the
shipping manifest. Major subassemblies, wrapped pal-
lets and crates will be marked with this same serial
number.
2. Remove crates and pallets marked for the implement
to be unloaded. Spot them clear of the designated
assembly area.
3. Remove any other major sub-assemblies secured to
the trailer deck, other than the harrow mainframe. Spot
them clear of the designated assembly area.
4. Depending on the dock available, it may be possible to
tow the mainframe off the truck.
Otherwise, hoist or lift the mainframe, and have the
truck driven out from under it.
Key hoist objectives are:
• Use at least 3 hoist lines.
• Use implement structures suitable for the frame’s weight.
• Keep the implement center of gravity inside the lines.
• Attach so that lines cannot slip toward center or slip off if
the load tilts.
• Use lines that are individually rated for at least half the
load.
• Watch out for load swing as it leaves ground contact.
