Once a unit is completed and needs to be moved, common sense becomes the best guide on how to accomplish this. The klips are stout enough to withstand a great deal of stress, and actually create an integration that optimizes their strength when many klips are used on a unit

As a general rule, when attempting to raise a unit, always make sure that the lowermost bars are supported.

When lifting with an overhead crane, use 4 -6 chains depending on the size and shape of the unit. Hook the chains around cross joints close to the edge of each corner, and in some cases, hook two chains in the center close to the perimeter.

      A. Lift with gentle, even pressure avoiding quick sharp movements.

       B. Hook the chains in such a way as to create a bind at the cross joint                  that has been hooked
      C. The same points apply when using a spreader bar on a forklift.

When lifting a unit with a forklift, their
must be a grid under which the forks
may slide and lift. Be certain that you
have supported the lowermost bar of
the grid. I f you try to lift from the top
bars, you will risk having the klips
dislodge.

        A. It is also very important that the
        length of the fork extends at least 2/3
    of the way across the unit to insure that the
unit is mostly supported and will not slide off
the end of the forks or drag on the ground.

When lifting by hand, grab the
vertical bars and avoid jerking
motions

A. If the unit is without vertical
members, and then lift it from the
lowermost bar in the grid.

NEVER MAKE THE KLIP WORK HARDER THAN IT HAS TO!!! USE COMMON SENSE!

PUT SAFETY FIRST;
THINK THINGS THROUGH,
WORK SMART!!!
