Fork Lift Trucks
A single fork lift truck may be used on drives not exceeding 3 m
(120 inches) in length if the lift truck has sufficient lifting capacity.
Larger drives can be moved with two forklift trucks operating in
tandem.
1. Insert forks into openings of shipping skids from the rear of the
drive.
2. Carefully balance the drive on the forks because the drives are
usually heavier at one side.
3. Use safety straps when handling to steady the drive while
moving.
