RECEIVING & HANDLING

1. Unloading the Lift

It’s recommended to use a forklift that can handle about 2,000 to 2,500 pounds and operates
on a smooth surface.

2. Un-banding the Lift

The steel bands which secure the lift parts to the pallets are heavy duty. You’ll need a pair of
metal shears or tin snips to cut the bands. Be very careful when doing this because the bands
will tend to fly apart when they are cut, and the heavy lift parts may shift when freed from the
bands. Stand to the side of the bands when you cut them, and use gloves when removing the
cut bands because they have sharp edges.

3. Moving Lift Components

You can move the larger components pieces to the garage or service bay with the forklift.
Some of the smaller pieces can be moved by two or more people by carrying them. If you have
several people helping, some of the larger pieces can be moved manually.
