Transportation Information
Note: Do not use handles or steps in order to lift or
tie down the machine.
1. The approximate machine shipping weights are
foun
d in the Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Specifications”. The instructions that are listed
below describe the units that are manufactured
by Caterpillar Inc.
Note: S
ignificant deviations can affect shipping the
mach
ine, or significant deviations can affect lifting
the machine. Some examples of these deviations are
listed below:
• Different implements
• Additional fuel
• Wider track shoes
• Tracks with accumulated mud
2. The parking brake must be engaged before you
sling the ma
chine. Engage the parking brake
before you secure the machine with tie-downs.
3. Use
properly rated cables and use properly
rate
d slings for lifting. For a machine without a
ripper, position the slings beneath the front of the
track and beneath the rear of the track. For a
machine with a ripper, position the slings
beneath the front of the track and under the
ripper at the rear of the machine.
4. On
sharp corners, use corner protectors. The
crane
should be positioned so that the machine
may be lifted in a level plane. The spreader bars
should be wide enough to prevent contact with
the machine.
5. Locations for Tie-downs
• Use the eye of the front tie-down.
• Use the inside edge of the track shoe for the
side tie-downs.
• Use the drawbar, the ripper, or the outer edge
of
the tr
ack shoe for the rear tie-downs.
