I need to lower a small JCB forklift into a basement. I need pick up points for this unit. Thank you?



Answers:
Your question doesn't quite make sense but i think you want to know which machine has lifting eyes. Most if not all modern machines have lifting eyes designed into the chassis, so to lifting with a Crane is easy as long as you have the correct lifting chains and something capable of lifting the weight of the machine.
If on the other hand you are asking where the lifting points are for your specific machine , they are normally situated around the cab and the front of the machine, if you find the centre of gravity for the machine the lifting points are there, do not sling a chain around any hydraulic rams or any movable part, ie Boom/Mast.
I would pick it by the mast in front and counter weight in rear. Just call the JCB dealer and ask where the pick points are suggested or located! Chains are not "OSHA" legal so don't use them because if someone gets hurt and they determine you did use chains,OUCH in the wallet! Either get a picking sling or use cables.
Agree with spud, should be 'holes' in chassis with picture of hook next to them, these are liftting points. All JCB's should have manuals in back of seat. Check and ask for one when delivered.
check operators handbook that tells you where it is safe to lift if not consult your nearest dealer
To Begin with, this is much heavier than you think , There are pickup points on mine , Large holes (2") to connect cables or chains above each wheel.. I had a tire company come to lift mine . they have cranes on trucks to lift earth mover tires, I was impressed.Mine weighs 5575Lb..I looked at it and figured it to maby weigh 2000Lb.. they were the most reasonable .it had no problem lifting it
I'm not familier on the jcb range but other forklifts i've moved generally have lifting points at the front of the cab/rops cage obove the front wheels and either a center point at the rear on top of the counterweight or a pair at the rear of the cab. I wouldnt suggest lashing to the mast at any point. They have a habit of seperating very easily when doing anything other than lifting loads!
