THE FLOOR GRINDER ONLY BY THE USE OF A
POWER TAILGATE UNIT, A SUITABLE HOIST UNIT
OF PROPER CAPACITY AND/OR CONFIGURATION
OR BY THE USE OF A PROPER QUANTITY OF
PERSONNEL IN PROPER PHYSICAL CONDITION.

a mechanical device incorporating a chain and suitable
attachment device. The location of the lifting bail may
not always locate the exact position of the center of
gravity for the Floor Grinder. Lifting handles are also
provided on both sides of the transmission case.
These handles can be utilized by personnel whenever

tools are required. Correct handle height can increase
overall machine productivity and reduce operator
fatigue.
