Receiving the Ironworker
Edwards Ironworking machinery is fully assembled and is shipped ei-
ther by palletized custom wooden crate or by shrink–wrapped wooden
pallet for ease of transport and receiving.
Inspect the packaging for damage and follow shipping/receiving instruc-
tions as listed on the packaging prior to receiving the Ironworker into
your facility.
When receiving your Ironworker, be prepared to safely move your ma-
chinery with a fork-lift rated for the following equipment weights:
Minimum Machinery Weights
25 Ton 544.3 kg / 1200 lb
40 Ton 861.8 kg / 1900 lb
50 Ton 916.3 kg / 2020 lb
55 Ton 1124.9 kg / 2480 lb
60 Ton 1156.7 kg / 2550 lb
65 Ton 2154.6 kg / 4750 lb
75 Ton 1859.7 kg / 4100 lb
100 Ton 2109.2 kg / 4650 lb
100 Ton DX 2349.6 kg / 5180 lb
120 Ton 2494.8 kg / 5500 lb
ELITE 110 2440.3 kg / 5380 lb
ELITE 110/65 3891.8 kg / 8580 lb
Utilize best practices for fork-lift operation. Handle material as close
to the drive surface as possible with the widest spread and deepest pen-
etration of forks effective to service the pallet. Forks should be adjusted
and locked into the safety detent closest to the maximum available fork
spread.
Unpacking/Moving the Ironworker
Your Edwards Ironworker includes surface and remotely mounted
electrical cabling and hydraulic lines. Exercise caution when removing
the factory supplied packaging. Do not cut electrical wires or hydraulic
hoses.
1. Unbolt/unpack Ironworker from its pallet using a 3/4” (19.05mm)
socket. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. Lift Edwards machinery using the designated fork lift locations and
appropriately rated lifting equipment.
3. Move the Ironworker to the prepared workstation.
Anchoring Ironworker
Anchor the base of the Ironworker to the workstation oor using four
1/2” (12.7mm) wedge anchor bolts. Anchorage points are the front and
rear of the fork-lift tubes. Secure the machinery with lock-nuts.
In the event the machinery needs to be relocated, reverse procedure.
Electrical Connection
Con rm with a certi ed electrician that the electrical supply to the
terminal location powering your Ironworker meet the operating speci-
cations (page 2) of the machine prior to electrical connection.
Con rm your electrical supply with the electrical speci cations of the
machine or accessory listed (page 2), and located on the Ironworker
starter box. It is critical that a quali ed electrician install your
machinery as your Warranty protection does not cover incorrect
wiring of electrical components at your site.
Prior to connecting your machine to the dedicated, protected power
supply, match work station wiring to the power supply cable (Owner
supplied) and the starter-box/motor speci cations on the machinery.
Install connections appropriately. Check for stability of connections.
If wiring through a plug/socket connection at the work station,
match work station wiring to the socket (Owner supplied), plug
(Owner supplied) and the power supply cable (Owner supplied) to the
starter-box / motor speci cations on the machinery. Install connections
appropriately. Check for stability of connections.
Wire according to the electrical diagrams located within the control
box.
