 1.
Lifting Oven with Forklift
Be sure to use a
forklift rated to lift at least the specified
required weight. (See Chart Below). Fork length must be at least
5 feet,
otherwise, fork extensions should be used.
The oven stand is equipped
with forklift pockets just above the angle iron base.
The oven should be lifted by a forklift from the sides only. Do not
lift the oven from the front or rear (please
see images). Important: The oven is very top-heavy so spread the forks as far apart as
possible. |

 2.
Lifting Oven with Crane
The oven arrives
with four lifting eyes attached. When craning
a Wood Stone 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.
A crane can be used only with flat-bed
truck deliveries.
|
|
NOTE: Once lifting eyes are no longer needed, remove the lifting eyes one at a time AND BE SURE TO REPLACE THE BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE OVEN TO THE STAND. |

3. Using A Pallet Jack To Move A
Mountain Series Oven
Once
the oven has been removed from the delivery vehicle, it
can easily be moved on flat surfaces using a pallet jack.
To lift the oven with a
pallet jack, remove the front and rear angle
iron stabilizers from the base of the oven stand and place two
or three stout 4x4s through the fork pockets. Important:
to insure stability during moving, please raise the oven only
high enough to clear the ground. |

 |
|
THE OVEN IS VERY
TOP-HEAVY. MOVING THE
OVEN UP OR DOWN A RAMP ON A PALLET
JACK IS NOT
SAFE!
|
|
| 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
UNLESS
YOU HAVE A ROLL OVER CAGE!
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.
