1.4 Important VR48 Unloading Information
Unloading the Crate - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please follow these guidelines when unloading the crated machine from
the freight truck.
The VR48 is shipped in a large framed crate with all accessories loaded
under the machine.
The crate presents a significant tip hazard when using lower capacity fork
lifts.
When unloading the crate from the freight truck, it is highly recommended
that an experienced fork lift operator or rigging company be utilized.
The forklift must have a minimum capacity of 6,000 lbs and 6' or longer
forks.
Keep crate close to ground level when transporting on fork lift.
Unload machine from crate before transporting machine into facility.
