USE WITH A CRANE | Requires Flatbed Truck For Shipping | |||
The Mesh Handler is designed primarily for use with a forklift; however pick-up points have been provided for use with a crane. The user must determine the proper safety procedures and requirements when using the Mesh Handler with a crane. | ||||
USE WITH A FORKLIFT | ||||
The Mesh Handler must be
used on level ground with the forks level. We recommend: Using 6 or 8 hooks for bundles that are 20 feet long. For 6-point lifts, we recommend using the 4 outer hooks and a pair of hooks on one of the fork tubes. Using 4 hooks for bundles that are 10 feet long or shorter. For 4-point lifts of bundles 10 feet long or shorter, we recommend using the 4 inner hooks on the fork tubes. |
||||
The
load must be centered under the Mesh Handler. Hooks must always
be used in pairs at each tube. Never lift with one end of a tube
and not the other end. The lifting chain lengths should be
adjusted so that all are tight with proper load-sharing. The
chains must be routed through the angle wedges such that the
load is applied to the angle wedge and not the shackle
attachment point. Lifts should always be smooth -not jerky. Before lifting, the forklift operator must make sure all personnel are at least 20 ft. away from the mesh. Should a bundle break loose, the stack has a tendency to spread rapidly which could cause severe injury or even death. Make sure all personnel on the ground are clear of lifting area when lifting. |
