Machine Loading/Unloading
Lifting with a Crane
When lifting the stationary pump with a crane, use suit-
able slings and only attach them to the machines lifting
eyes.
Do NOT exceed load capacity of lift-
ing eyes due to additional weight of
accessories and left over pumping
material. Determine weight of loads
before lifting.
When lifting, determine the center of gravity of the sta-
tionary pump by lifting carefully. All cables or chains
on the lifting gear must be tensioned evenly and the
stationary pump must be raised evenly at all support
points.
Chain lengths that are too short lead to serious strain
on the subframe, the individual chain lengths must be
a minimum 8’.
For more information on safe lifting practices, reference
ASME B30.
Lifting with a Forklift
Skid mounted stationary pumps can be lifted with a
forklift using the installed lifting channels.
For more information on safety standards for rough ter-
rain forklift trucks, reference ASME B56.
Loading on a atbed trailer
To safely load a trailer, you must consider, overall load
weight, load weight distribution and securing the load
properly.
The gross machine weight is shown on the Main ID tag
“Figure 1” on page 12. The weight does not included
added accessories or left over pumping material.
Load the cargo onto the trailer with approximately 60%
of the cargo in the front half of the trailer. Secure the
stationary pump to the trailer using appropriate straps,
chains and tensioning devices. The stationary pump has
brackets on all four corners to attach tie down straps.
Shifting cargo can result in loss of
control of the trailer, and can lead to
death or serious injury.
Unit Setup
Selecting the setup location
When you arrive on the job, check with the job supervi-
sor to determine where you should set up. If possible,
choose a at, rm, and dry location that allows hopper
access for two ready-mix trucks. When a suitable area
has been found:
1. Remove safety chains from the tow vehicle. Open
receiver latch by removing safety pin and lifting
lock on the receiver mount.
2. Place suitable cribbing below the foot of the front
jack.
3. Use the front jack to raise the pintle hitch o the
receiver mount.
4. Drive tow vehicle away from the set-up area.
5. Lower front jack to level the Stationary pump.
6. Place suitable cribbing below the outrigger feet.
Remove pins from rear outriggers and gently low-
er the outriggers to the ground using the outrigger
handle.
7. Place pins in the next available hole, secure with
safety clip.
