Transport single column frames
Before you begin
Before moving the load frame ensure that:
• All site requirements are met (“Site requirements” on page 23).
• Operators of any lifting equipment have the appropriate licenses and have complied
with your local safety standards (e.g. the appropriate training required by OSHA in
the U.S.).
• At the final site location, there is adequate clearance between the ceiling and the
top of the load frame, including clearance for lifting the frame via a crane.
• The frame and forklift (or crane) can fit through all doorways, halls, elevators or
stairs from the shipping dock to its final site location.
Refer to “68SC-05 Dimensions and Weight” on page 33. If the frame is still in its
packaging, check the packaging dimensions for your frame model. If you are moving
the frame without its packaging, check the dimensions for your frame model.
• The floors from the shipping dock to the final site location have sufficient support for
the weight of the load frame and forklift (or crane) combined. Refer to “68SC-05
Dimensions and Weight” on page 33.
• You have adequate packaging materials to protect the load frame when moving it to
another site. Contact Instron
®
Service to determine the appropriate packaging
requirements for your frame model.
• There are no loose accessories on the shipping skid.
