8’ Alfablocs must only be lifted with an
approved lifting attachment or with a suitable
lifting chain if lifting loops are to be used in
accordance with safety instructions.

level to enable you to lower it into place over
installed unit.

Once secured to the forklift tines, the lifting
attachment is inserted into the hollow
of the A to lift the Alfabloc.

connecting straps with the holes in the
previously installed unit. Insert bolts and tighten
