3.5 Lifting the hooklift onto the chassis
The hooklift must be lifted with an extra care to avoid any dam-
ages during the lifting. The hooklift can be ordered with prein-
stalled lifting lugs (MU111553501), with what the lifting can be
done safe. Check that the lifting hooks of lifting chains will fit
into the lifting lugs.
If the lifting lugs are not available, then the hooklift can be lifted
from the body supports and rear rollers. Lifting from the hook
arm, the middle frame or the rear frame is not allowed due to
the risk of damages. Before lifting check to be sure that no hy-
draulic or electric components can be damaged.
The centre of gravity of the hooklift is approx. 55% of the G-
length measured from rear rollers towards front.
Always check the condition and operation of the lifting equip-
ment, hooks, ropes, wires and belts before lifting.
The weight of Ultima hooklifts can be seen in the table next page.
Remove the lifting lugs after the hooklift is lowered on the chassis.
