2 - 4 Machine Arrival Pre-Installation Manual for i-Series Machines v387
Refer to the appropriate section below for details about lifting the machine.
Lifting the Machine with Forklift
When using a forklift to lift the machine while still on shipping pallet, be sure to place
tines beneath the shipping pallet using the pallet lifting tubes.
Some models may require solid steel lifting bars when lifting a machine from the rear of
the machine. Lifting bars must be long enough to span the machine frame, and be
capable of supporting the machine without bending.
To lift the machine from the pallet:
Um die Maschine von der Palette zu heben:
1. Insert the forklift tines between the cast supports, so that a cast support is
between the right and left forklift tines.
2. Keep adequate clearance between the machine and the front of the forklift by
placing wedge blocks on top of the forks.
3. Carefully lift the machine off of the pallet.
Lifting the Machine with Crane
A crane lifting bracket is required for the machines listed in the following table and can be
provided by Hurco.
* For Turning Centers, lifting brackets are attached to the machine frame.
To lift the machine, either with pallet or to lift machine from pallet:
1. Use proper lifting straps attached to machine-mounted lifting brackets and the
proper bracket of the crane lifting bracket. The crane lifting bracket is marked
to indicate which bracket should be used for each model.
• Do not remove any bracing on the machine.
• Do not remove equipment from inside the machine.
• Do not remove auxiliary equipment from a second pallet, if
equipped.
• Do not remove or install the console.
Because the power cabinet is located at the rear of the machine,
longer fork tines are required when lifting at the rear of the machine.
The forklift must be rated to handle the machine’s weight. For the
weight of your machine, refer to the Machine Dimensions section of
the Model-specific Specifications document.
