G7 - LIFT TRUCK ON A PLATFORM
TRANSPORT
Ensure that the safety instructions connected to the platform are respected before the loading of the lift
truck and that the driver of the means of transport is informed about the dimensions and the weight of
the lift truck (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: CHARACTERISTICS).
Ensure that the platform has got dimensions and a load capacity sufficient for transporting the lift truck.
Check also the pressure on the contact surface allowable for the platform in connection with the lift
truck.
For lift trucks equipped with a turbo-charged I.C. engine, block off the exhaust outlet to avoid rotation of
the turbo shaft without lubrication when transporting the vehicle.
LOAD THE LIFT TRUCK
- Block the wheels of the platform.
- Fix the loading ramps so that you obtain an angle as little as possible to lift the lift truck.
- Load the lift truck parallel to the platform.
- Stop the lift truck (see: 1 - OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
UNLADEN AND LADEN).
STOW THE LIFT TRUCK
- Fix the chocks to the platform at the front and at the back of each tyre (fig. G7/1).
- Fix also the chocks to the platform in the inside of each tyre (fig. G7/2).
- Secure the lift truck to the platform with sufficiently strong ropes. At the front of the lift
truck, attach the ropes to the fastening points (fig. G7/3) and at the rear to the towing
pin (fig. G7/4).
- Tighten the ropes (fig. G7/5).
