Section 4: Shipping
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains general information on preparing the hi-lift unit for transportation domestically and
overseas. Check regulations of the states and/or countries through which the hi-lift unit will be
transported for specific requirements.
Review storage requirements (Section 5) for information on protection that may be required if time en
route is expected to be more than two or three days.
2. DOMESTIC SHIPMENT
There are few special preparations needed to ship the unit domestically.
1. Ensure all stabilizers are fully retracted to stowed position.
2. Ensure the work platform is fully lowered and resting firmly in the stowed position on the rest
pads.
3. Ensure the folding handrails (optional) are locked in the raised position or the chain post guard-
rails are in raised position.
4. Restrain the hi-lift unit with universal tie-down straps, chains and over-center tensioning devices.
NOTE: Refer to the chassis manufacturer’s manual for any preparations the chassis may need
before shipping.
3. OVERSEAS SHIPMENT
CAUTION
DO NOT SHIP THE UNIT ABOVE DECK WHERE IT CAN BE EXPOSED TO SALT WATER.
1. Ensure all stabilizers are fully retracted to stowed position, and the work platform is fully lowered.
The folding handrails (optional) are to be locked in the raised position or the chain post guardrails
are in raised position.
2. Restrain the hi-lift unit with universal tie-down straps, chains, and over-center tensioning devices,
and chocks. Inspect all attaching points to ensure that the restraints are secure and that straps (if

vibration.
