Moving the 1 kN and 2 kN Frames
Insight Material Testing System Installation 41
Once the frame is tipped, push the pallet jack under the frame then return the
frame to the upright position resting on top of the pallet jack. Position the
frame on the pallet jack such that it is centered and stable.
With one person holding onto the frame and one person operating the pallet
jack, move the frame to its final position. Tip the frame as you did when you
put it on the pallet jack and pull the pallet jack out from under the frame.
Carefully lower the frame back to its normal upright position.
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.
In some cases, the final frame position will be on top of a table. Make sure
you have enough help or appropriate lifting devices.
Ensure any table upon which the frame is placed is sturdy, level, and capable
of supporting the weight of the machine.
