(19) Rolling and sliding loads must be secured to the platform. Rolling loads must not
be transported on the platform without a cart stop. On request, MAXON liftgates come
equipped cart stops that reliably secure rolling loads (wheels with max. 4” diameter). If
roll containers are used, the liftgate must be equipped with cart stops
WARNING
Unsecured rolling loads can fall from the platform and injure the operator or bystanders.
Before transporting rolling loads, flip up the cart stops. Observe the danger zone.
IMPORTANT
Dirt can impair the functioning of cart stops.
The operating company must keep these safety devices clean at all times.
(20) When transferring loads from vehicle to vehicle, only one of the two platforms
should be used as a dock. A minimum of 5.9 inches of the platform must rest on the floor
of the opposite vehicle and may be traversed only with loads that do not exceed its
maximum load-carrying capacity.
IMPORTANT
If the platform is used as a dock to
transfer loads from vehicle to
vehicle or from the vehicle to a
ramp, the maximum load capacity
for lifting/lowering must not be
exceeded (see rating plate/load
diagram on page 18).
(21) Lift and lower cargo only with
the platform in the horizontal
position.
