Frame Base Method
This method requires that the base be firmly attached to a shipping skid. The center of the
base, where the forklift arms would be placed if no shipping skid was used, cannot support
the weight of the load frame.
To transport the load frame using the frame base method:
1. Ensure that the frame is bolted to the shipping skid.
2. Carefully insert the forks under the shipping skid as shown in Figure 3-1 on page 3-6.
3. The crosshead should be in its lowest position so that the frame is not top heavy.
4. Slowly and carefully lift the frame off the floor.
5. Move the frame to its operating location.
6. Slowly lower the frame to the floor.
7. Before placing the frame in its operating location, you must insert the leveling feet into
each corner of the base. The shipping skid must be removed to insert the feet and before
placing the frame in its operating location. Follow the instructions described under
