LIFTING BY CRANE
The MB20N/26 may be lifted by an overhead hoist/crane subject to the following strict
procedure.
Raise the jib to clear the lifting straps as shown.
Use 4 separate lifting straps connected to a spreader beam. DO NOT use a lesser number
of threaded straps as these could slip and lead to instability. The recommended minimum
capacity of EACH of the 4 straps is 2 tonne and the minimum length of each strap is
2 metres. Damage to the covers and/or cage rails can occur if a spreader beam is not
deployed during a crane lift.
