be raised by a forklift/tele-handler. The FCP can be lifted from all 4 sides. This
must be considered in your risk assessment
•It is important that the total gross weight of the FCP is not more than half
(50%) of the forklift’s maximum SWL. Ensure that the forklift’s forks are set
to the correct width for the FCP’s fork pockets
