Lift and Move Instructions
Crane method
MTS recommends using professional riggers experienced in moving heavy
equipment.
To transport the load frame using the crane method:
1. Attach the two lifting slings to hoist rings of the top plate and secure them to
the crane hook.
The frame may overturn suddenly when lifting the frame.
An overturned frame can cause injury or death to anyone in the immediate
area.
Ensure that all persons in the immediate area are standing away from the frame
during lifting. Do not lift the frame more than 8 cm (3 in) off the floor.
2. Slowly and carefully lift the frame off the floor.
3. Remove the shipping skid, if it has not already been removed.
4. Move the frame to the operating location.
5. Four leveling feet are supplied for the load frame. Thread one leveling foot
into each corner of the base before placing the frame into its testing location.
6. Place the load frame carefully into position.
7. Remove the lifting straps from the top plate, and any protective padding, if
used.
When the frame is in its testing location, you can proceed with the installation
process.
