INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKING AT LOADING DOCKS
When using the tail lift platform as a bridge plate between the loading floor of the vehicle and the loading dock, follow the instructions
below:
WARNING
•
Improper use of the tail lift may result in damage, premature wear or failure of the tail lift, and will increase the risk of serious
injury or death to the operator and other persons nearby.
•
In order to maximize the durability, ensure long-term reliability of the tail lift, and protect operators and bystanders from serious
bodily injury or death, the operator must comply with the loading instructions and safe working procedures below.
Min. 150mm
The total weight of the load and the
lifting device (forklift, electric or manual
pallet jack, etc…) must not exceed the
maximum rated capacity of the tail lift.
Beware not to overload!
A minimum section of 150mm of the
platform point must cover the loading
dock.
When loading or unloading, the loading
floor of the vehicle might lower or rise
relative to the loading dock. Use the
electrical controls to tilt the platform to
maintain flat contact with the dock.
NEVER place dock plates or bridges on
an unsupported platform. The platform
point should ALWAYS overlap a rigid
support structure over a minimum span of
150mm.
Min. 200mm

Wherever the loading dock is equipped with a storage pocket for tail lift platforms,
it is strongly recommended to tuck the platform away in this area. Before reversing
into the dock, check if it is deep enough for the depth of the platform. Ensure there
is sufficient clearance under and above the platform, taking into account all
anticipated position shifts of the vehicle suspension. Make sure the platform does
not touch the ceiling, ground or end wall of the storage pocket.
