Discussion:
Lifting a Wave with a crane?

Hi All.

I'm in a situation where I will need to move a Crown Wave 50-118 around with an overhead crane.

Any suggestions as to how I could easily do that?

Can I add some lifting point to the frame in some way to rig it, or would I need to have a custom tray made up, so I can sling to that instead, and roll on, roll off?

I need suggestions to something that a small number of people could be trained to do, as this will be needed possibly a number of times a week.

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
