1.
Lifting Oven with a Forklift
Please see the chart
below to be sure that you are
using a forklift rated for your oven size.
The
oven stand is equipped with fork pockets near the
bottom of the base of the stand.
Use
extreme caution and make sure that the forks extend all the way
through the pockets provided when lifting from the front side of the
oven. (see Figure 1 at right).
With a forklift only, the FD-6045,
FD-8645, and FD-9660 can also be lifted from either side (see Figure
2-3 at right).
Be sure the weight capacity of the
forklift meets or exceeds the "required forklift" in the table below
for your oven size. |

2. Using a Pallet Jack to Move a Fire Deck Oven
Some models of Fire Deck ovens can be easily moved on flat
surfaces using a pallet jack. Once the oven has been removed
from the delivery vehicle and is inside the doorway, a
pallet jack can be used from the front or rear of the Fire
Deck 6045, Fire Deck 8645, and Fire Deck 9660. All Fire Deck
ovens can accommodate casters for ease of mobility. The Fire
Deck 9690 cannot be moved with a pallet jack, and instead
ships on heavy-duty casters, making it easy to move the oven
into place.

|
THE OVEN IS
VERY TOP-HEAVY. MOVING THE OVEN UP OR DOWN A
RAMP
ON A PALLET JACK IS NOT SAFE!

3.
Using Optional
Temporary Casters (Fire Deck Ovens
Only) |
Remove the
shipping steel before installing temporary casters.
With the Fire Deck oven supported by a forklift
or pallet jack, slide and secure the caster assemblies into the end
forklift pockets.
 Once the oven is in place, support the unit
using a pallet jack and remove the caster and its support.
Be sure to seal the side and front forklift pockets using the covers
provided.
Please allow for 4 inches in height increase
when the casters are installed. |
|
Optional: Lifting
Oven with a Crane
|
The oven arrives
with lifting eyes attached. When craning
a Fire Deck oven, use a spreader bar with a
two-legged sling rigged on each end.
The spreader bar should be of a sufficient length to keep the sling from contacting the oven.

Same method with all other Fire Deck sizes, except Fire
Deck 9690 oven

 |

The Fire deck
9690 oven should be craned with straps through the
forklift pockets. See photos (above)
Note: A crane can be used only with
flat-bed truck deliveries.
Moving a Wood Stone oven can present interesting
challenges to even the most experienced riggers. Take your time, use
your head, secure the proper equipment and make safety your first priority. Please don’t hesitate to call the factory for technical support (1-800-988-8103).
DO NOT TURN THE OVEN ON ITS SIDE!
Please visit our
Installation Solutions Page for
more information or contact our factory directly.
DELIVERY NOTE:
The customer will receive an Oven Shipping Notification when the oven leaves the Wood Stone factory. This will include a PRO# and a
trucking company contact number. Wood Stone recommends that you confirm the delivery
date/time with the trucking company before committing to heavy equipment and/or labor. Our
goal is smooth and safe delivery. Thank you.
