    Moving Fadal Machines

    We have 2 fadal 4525's and a 4020 that we will be moving about 10 to 20 feet from the spot their in now.Actually turning them around too.Is there a safe way to pick them up with a crane or should forklift be used?We have a 10 ton crane ,but our forlifts are too small for the job.

    The crane can be used. Remove the front way cover and between the ways you will see two threaded holes that you can insert some eye bolts. Also a bar can be put thru the column and a chain used to make the four point lifting. Call me at Maintainence Technology and I'll provide you with the documentation. 818 727-2100 op#4.
