Before transporting or lifting the M2032/2639J 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.
M2032J CE Version= 2550 kg
M2032J US Version= 3000 kg (6615 lbs)
M2639J CE Version = 2650 kg
M2639J US Version = 3150 kg (6945 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 850 kg on the CE version and
1300kg on the US (ANSI) version.
