General
All MVL and MSP Model Personnel Lifts may be transported to a
work site using the following methods:
• Driving the machine around on its base wheels if travel sur-
face area permits.
• Loaded, IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION ONLY onto a heavy-duty
vehicle with the payload capacity capable of supporting the
full weight of the machine (Check machine gross weights in
the Operating Spec Chart at the beginning of this Section).
• Moved with a fork-lift truck using the fork-lift pockets in the
base frame.
Truck Transport
DO NOT TRANSPORT THE MACHINE IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION DUE TO
LEAKAGE OF BATTERY ACID FROM THE BATTERIES OR HYDRAULIC FLUID

The machine may be winched onto a tilted roll-back truck bed
(see important note following) which has been rolled back to
ground level. Disengage the brakes and always winch (pull) from
the mast (rear) end of the machine, using the rear tie-down loop
attached to the base frame.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE MACHINE ONTO, OFF OF, OR PUSH MACHINE
ONTO A TILTED ROLL-BACK TRUCK BED.
THE MVL AND MSP MACHINES POWER MODULE COULD SUSTAIN SERI-
OUS DAMAGE WHEN THE UNIT IS PUSHED, OR TOWED AT SPEEDS
GREATER THAN 2 MPH.
WHEN TOWING OR WINCHING, THE MACHINE’S BRAKES MUST BE DISEN-
GAGED.
RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKES ONCE MACHINE IS IN PLACE WITH TRUCK BED
LEVEL AND READY FOR TIE DOWN.
TIE DOWN LOOPS ARE PROVIDED ON BOTH ENDS OF THE BASE FRAME TO
SECURE MACHINE TO BED OF TRANSPORT VEHICLE.
