Setting Equipment

I have a load bank with below weight and dims going on grade outside. Could a Lull move this in place if ground is very firm or concrete?


Packaged Weight 2040.00 lbs (925.33 kg )
Dimensions 77 x 99 x 52 in (185 x 238 x 125 cm)

Yes and there are different sizes of Lulls

Lulls can move large amounts of weight as Roger noted depending on their size. It might not be the best equipment to move a load bank especially one that's only 2000 pounds.

Maybe back truck with lift gate up to or near area of final location???

That would work. Is this a permanent load bank?

Yes

Will it be on a pallet or have fork pockets?

Not sure.....

Yes

These are typically mounted on the generator so it would need to be lifted into place. Also you should check because these are often installed by the tin knocker not the electrician.

It's stand alone and not genset mounted in this case.

Here is a 644 Lull load chart. This is your typical 6,000 LBS machine. Although all machines will have their own

Almost any telehandler* could move a 1 ton load without breaking a sweat.

* Lull is an old trade name and is unknown in parts of the country; the machine is also known in some places as a "shoot-boom" or "long-each" lift; many are made by Genie and JCB .

Yeah well that all depends on how far out (radius) and how high. Lots of times I've had them get light in the ass end with less than a ton on them. I made the lift, but I probably shouldn't have

First one I ran was a Pettibone with an IHC Black Diamond gasoline engine. I was like 18 or 19, so long long ago now. Damn thing had what seemed to me to be a gazillion zerk fittings and other lube points. If I didn't hit them all Saturday morning. (Time and a half cash and a really good Italian Hoagie) and tried to cheat in any way, the boss would find where I cheated and come to my house on Sunday morning to yell at me. Worse yet he came in the back kitchen door and my grandmother would offer him coffee and breakfast and I'm hearing all this from my teen age bedroom and I'm hung over and going to have to go back and fix something.

Different people then. Bootleg anthracite miners and haulers serving the phila market with NEPA coal. Depressen era, some of them were real smart, they knew how to avoid problems.

But yeah pretty much any kind of mobile industrial lifting machinery has a chart. And the chart is specific to each specific model and it's attachments. Probably the biggest concern is stuff that moves the center of mass of whatever you are lifting farther away from the machine. That reduces capacity fast (Being it's the short side of the lever on a regular forktruck).

But anyway you can find a chart for pretty much anything halfway modern online. I think there are a lot on https://www.ritchiespecs.com/equipment/telescopic-forklift
