Transportation
• Secure loose equipment and materials before
transporting table. Loose equipment or material
can fall and cause tipping and striking injuries or
damage the equipment.
• Stay alert and use common sense when
transporting this equipment. Keep control of the
table and be aware of the environment, a moment
of inattention while transporting may result in
serious personal injury if the table tips or rolls
away on its own.
• Some parts and accessories of this tool are
heavy. Use proper lifting techniques to reduce the
risk of injury.
Preparing for Transport
Before transporting the table, lower the Ram and
Connecting Forks:
1. Lock rear casters to prevent the table from moving.
2. Move the chain vise toward the carriage. The vice
needs to be in a position to support the ram and
secure it during transport but not so close as to
interfere with the forks, just past the 3-1/2 in. and 2
in. bending shoe storage pegs is ideal.
3. Move the ram to the 2-1/2 in. holes on the
connecting forks. This position is easiest for the
operator to lay the ram down and keeps the ram from
sticking out over the back of the table.
4. Unpin the carriage latches and carefully lower the
ram onto the chain vise.
5. Clamp the ram body in the chain vise (Fig. 21). Do
not use the 90° coupler as a handle or allow it to lay
on the vise or the coupler could be damaged.

6. Secure loose tools and accessories in their
respective storage spaces and close or lock security
features to prevent accessories coming loose in
transport. Strap holes are located in the fork pockets
to tie down the MBTS for shipping. (Fig. 22)

7. Rotate the pump basket over the table and secure
it in place. This will prevent the basket swinging free
during transport.
8. Tuck the pump hose out of the way behind the 3-1/2
in. bending shoe (Fig. 23).
Forklift Transport
When using a forklift, the carriage must be moved
forward past the first fork pocket to unblock it and to
balance the load (Fig. 24). Loosen the two screws on
the Carriage underside to release it and slide along the
conduit rails. Tighten the screws once in position.
