Improper lifting or tiedowns can allow load to shift and can cause injury and damage.
Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Use an adjustable lifting beam, if necessary. Some removals require lifting fixtures in order to obtain proper balance and safety.Lifting eyes are designed and installed for the specific arrangement. Alterations to the lifting eyes and/or the engine make the lifting eyes and the lifting fixtures obsolete. If alterations are made, ensure that proper lifting devices are provided. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper engine lifting.
