The MTS Insight frames are heavy.
Moving the frame using improper procedures can injure personnel (for
example strained muscles and back injuries) or damage the frame.
When lifting the frame, take the appropriate precautions to prevent injuries to
yourself. Moving and positioning the MTS Insight frame must be performed by
qualified personnel only.
MTS Insight frames weigh from 50–1050 kg (110–2315 lb). Other apparatus
such as the pallet, packaging, and accessories add to the overall weight. If you
have any questions, call MTS.
