Lifting
The preferred method of lifting Milltronics ML series lathes is by forklift.
By Crane or Hoist
If a crane or hoist must be used, the machine must be lifted by the bed with the use of a
special lifting bracket and eye bolt, along with straps rated to handle the weight of the
machine.
Notes:
1. Use extreme caution whenever moving/lifting equipment
2. Be sure the straps and other rigging equipment are all appropriately rated to
handle the weight being lifted.
3. Always keep the machine well balanced, and as close to the ground as possible
when moving/lifting.
4. Use the slowest speed of the hoist/crane when moving/lifting.
