Before transporting or lifting the MB20N/26 machine be aware of its weight. It is very
important to realise that the centre of gravity of the stowed machine is approximately
80 cm above ground and in the plane of the energy chain which is located on the
back of the mast.
MB20N CE Version= 2590 kg
MB20N US Version= 3012 kg (6640 lbs)
MB26 CE Version = 2660 kg
MB26 US Version = 3175 kg (7000 lbs)
In cases of particular difficulties with lifting or shipping it is possible to remove the
single block ballast from the machine. Remove the 13 screws connecting the ballast
cover to the mast. Undo the 4 bolts connecting the ballast to the mast and use a
forklift to remove the ballast block. The ballast block weighs 600 kg on MB20N, 460 kg
on MB26 ( CE version ) and 1300kg on the US (ANSI) version.
