•
Forklift must be capable of lifting gross weight of loaded CROP. Failure to comply
may result in damage to equipment or severe injury or death to personnel. Do not
drive a forklift on the CROP deck; doing so exceeds point load capability of the deck.

One CROP weighs 3,800 lbs (1,724 kg) and the M3 CROP (S/N SC09001 and up)
weighs 3,730 lbs (1,692 kg). Six CROPs weigh 22,800 lbs (10,342 kg) and six M3
CROPs (S/N SC09001 and up) weigh 22,380 lbs (10,152 kg). Gross weight of a fully
loaded CROP is 36,250 lbs (16,443 kg). Ensure all personnel stand clear of CROP
when CROP is being moved. Failure to comply may result in severe injury or death to
personnel.

Attempting to load a CROP in ISO container requires extreme care to prevent dam-
age to equipment. Clearance between the inside of ISO container and each side of
CROP is unusually close.

may result in severe injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
