MTS Criterion™ Series 60 Lifiting and Moving Instructions 9
Moving the Load Unit with a Forklift
If a fork lift is used, perform the following:
1. Adjust the fork distance and height, make them suitable to extend under the
lower crosshead.
2. Put protective rubber or cloth on the forks and extend them under the lower
crosshead. The two forks should be level and equally loaded.
Note Verify the capacity of the lifting fork. Be careful not to stop or move into
the field of rang of the lifting fork.
3. Raise the load frame slowly and steadily to a suitable height and move the
load frame to the foundation slowly and steadily.
4. Secure the load frame to the foundation; see “Securing the Load Unit” on
page 10.
Moving the Load Unit with an Overhead Crane
If an overhead crane is used, perform the following:
1. Choose suitable slings according to the load frame weight.
2. Attach the slings to the customer-supplied hoist ring on the upper crosshead.
Note Verify the capacity of the overhead crane. Be careful not to stop or move
into the field of range of the overhead crane.
3. Raise the hook slowly to lift the load frame only high enough to move.
4. Slowly and steadily move the load frame to the foundation.
