Unloading the Jaw Crusher

crusher long distances will be by railroad. If moved over the highway it would normally be towed.

crusher to the flatcar as illustrated on figure 2.

ramp. If a suitable ramp is not available, construct an unloading ramp as illustrated on figure 3;
Note. Secure the flatcar wheels, both front and rear, with 6 by 6 timber blocks.
(3)
Use a suitable towing vehicle and tow the jaw crusher from the flatcar.
b. Lifting the Jaw Crusher. If suitable lifting or hoisting equipment is available, attach the lifting slings and
equipment to the lifting eyes on the jaw crusher as illustrated on figure 4 and lift the crusher from the flatcar.
Warning: The lifting device must have the capacity for safely lifting and lowering 36 tons.
