Packaging Dimensions
Instron recommends leaving the load frame in its packaging while moving it to its final site
location within your building.
Use the information in this section to verify that:
• the packaged frame fits through all doorways and hallways leading to the final location
• all floors leading to the final location can support the weight of the packaged frame
Hazard - do not lift the frame by the top plate. This plate does not support the
weight of the frame. The plate could break and cause personal injury and
equipment damage. Refer to the “System Description and Terminology” on
page 1-2 to identify the top plate.
Hazard - Do not use a lifting device or straps rated for less than twice the weight
of the load frame. All lifting devices and straps must be rated for a capacity at
least twice the weight of the load frame.
Hazard - Do not tilt an unsupported load frame more than 10° when it is in the
upright position. Doing so may topple the load frame and cause personal injury
and damage.
