Transporting on a Trailer
The forklift pockets on either side of the unit can be used
as tie-down points. See Lifting the Light Tower Trailer for
forklift pocket locations.
Always fasten the light tower trailer to the transporting trailer
with chains or straps. Do not apply more than 600 pounds
(272 kg) force on the chains or straps.
The truck operator is responsible for making sure the unit is
safely loaded and fastened to his transporting trailer.
Note: When transporting on a trailer, turn the light fixtures to
the rear of the unit. See Figure 8.

Lifting the Light Tower Trailer
WARNING
Lifting the light tower trailer with a lifting device that is
underrated or damaged could result in death or serious
injury. Always make sure that the lifting device is rated to lift
the weight of the light tower trailer. Make sure that the lifting
device is in good condition before lifting.
WARNING
Standing or walking under equipment when it is lifted could
result in death or serious injury. When lifting the light tower
trailer, always keep clear of the area around and under the
light tower trailer, and do not let others in the area.
General Lifting Guidelines
• Before lifting, lower the light tower and shut down the
engine. See Pre-Transport Check List.
• Make sure that the lifting device you are using is in good
condition and rated to exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) of the light tower trailer. See Light Tower
Trailer Weight.
• Use aid when using a forklift, crane or hoist, and when
unloading.
• Use only the lifting eye to lift the unit with a hoist or crane.
• Use only shackles or a locking-type hook when lifting.
• Do not stand or walk under the unit when it is lifted. Keep
others away.
Lifting Eye
The light tower trailer has one lifting eye, located at the top
center of the unit (A, Figure 9). Use only this lifting eye to lift
the light tower trailer.
Use a lifting device with a lift rating that exceeds the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the light tower trailer. See
Light Tower Trailer Weight.
The lifting eye is rated for 1500 pounds (680 kg), and is
designed to hold the weight of the light tower trailer only. Do
not add any more weight to the unit when lifting.
Do not keep the light tower trailer lifted for long periods of
time.

Lifting the Light Tower Trailer with a Forklift
The light tower trailer has two forklift pockets (A, Figure 10)

weight of the light tower trailer. See Light Tower Trailer
Weight.
