Lifting and Moving Instructions The following table lists the approximate weight of each load frame model, Integrated Operations Platform, and optional parts with and without the crate. The weight specification is for lifting and moving purposes. The weight of accessories and special fixtures must be added. The actual shipping weight must be determined by a scale.
Moving the Load Fame Moving the Load Fame Unloading The customer will be responsible for all the unloading process if no Unloading Service is purchased. In case of special agreement, an MTS field service engineer can monitor the unloading, storage, and transportation process. To unload the load frame: 1. Unload the load frame with reference to the lifting position marker and the gravity center marker . 2. Choose suitable slings according to the weight table. 3.
Moving the Load Fame Moving the Load Unit to Its Final Location To move the load frame: 1. Remove the cover board. If you ordered the safety enclosure, take it out and store it in a suitable place (The MTS field service engineer will install it for you). Take off the side boards. Remove the mounting bolts for the frame. Attach customer-supplied hoist rings (M30 for C64.305 / C64.305E, M36 for C64.605 /C64.605E and C64.106 /C64.106E) to the frame. 2.
Moving the Load Fame 3. Put the frame base on a mat and let the frame lay horizontally, remove the lifting rings on base. Note When the frame rises, keep a safe distance from the frame to avoid personal injury. 4. Use a crane to slowly raise the frame to its upright position. As the frame rises, keep moving the crane to keep the slings as straight as possible. As there will be shake when the frame raise, please put the side board (Unpacked from the frame package) under the frame to avoid frame damages.
Moving the Load Fame 5. When the frame is stable in the upright position, lift it to the final location. 6. Move the load unit to its final location and secure the frame to the foundation. Refer to either “Moving the Load Unit with a Forklift” on page 9 or “Moving the Load Unit with an Overhead Crane” on page 9.
Moving the Load Fame 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.
Moving the Load Fame 5. Secure the load frame to the foundation; see “Securing the Load Unit” on page 10. Do not exceed 30o Supporting Wood Securing the Load Unit To secure the load unit to the foundation: 1. Put the anchor bolts into the bolt holes. The top of the bolts should be lower than the top of the foundation. 2. Align the anchor bolt holes on the load frame base with that of the foundation, and slowly put down the load frame. 3.

Moving the Integrated Operations Platform Moving the Integrated Operations Platform Unloading Choose suitable slings according to the Integrated Operations Platform and crate weight. Wrap the sling through the crate pallet and raise it. Moving the Integrated Operations Platform to Its Final Location To move the Integrated Operations Platform: 1. Unpack the Integrated Operations Platform. 2. Choose suitable chains according to the Integrated Operations Platform weight.
Moving the Integrated Operations Platform 3. Attach the chains to the customer-supplied hoist rings (M16) on the Integrated Operations Platform and hang the other end to the hook. Do not exceed 30o Hoist Rings M16 Note Verify the capacity of the overhead crane.Be absolutely careful not to stop or transit within the field of action of the overhead crane. 4. Raise the hook slowly and move the platform to its final location. 5. Put the platform down and take off the chains.
Unloading the Steps Unloading the Steps If you have purchased steps, unload them using the correct procedures (see the Integrated Operations Platform unloading for reference). Put the steps in a suitable place and wait for the MTS field service engineer to install them during his visit.
