(2) With the aid of an assistant, position CROP (2) directly in front of ISO container (3) door
opening and using forklift (4) lateral movement, move the CROP laterally until the rollers
are inside the ISO container. Lower the CROP, resting the rollers on the floor of the ISO con
tainer and the front of the CROP on the ground.
Ensure forklift tines are horizontal or pointed slightly downward to ensure they do not
contact crossmembers or the underside of the deck when the tines are being inserted
under the CROP or when the CROP is being lifted from the front. Prior to lifting,
ensure the tines are in full contact with the front beam and are not contacting cross-
members.
Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment.
Ensure forklift tines are positioned to the outside of the CROP main beams, between
the main beams and the multipurpose provisions. Do not attempt to lift front of CROP
with forklift tines on the inside of main beams. Failure to comply may result in dam
age to equipment.
Exercise extreme caution to ensure the CROP is properly aligned to be inserted into
the ISO container. The CROP is designed with less than 1/2 inch clearance on either
side between the CROP and ISO container door frame. Failure to comply may result
in damage to equipment.
(3)
Reposition the forklift (4) and lift the front of the CROP (2 ) approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
and, with the aid of an assistant, ensure the CROP is carefully aligned for insertion into the
ISO container (3).
