Maneuvering 

To move the machine to the load, take the handle grip in hand 
(without depressing the throttle) and tilt the unit back by pushing 
down on the handle grip until the front support roller lifts up off the 
ground.  In this position the device can be easily rolled around on its 
rear wheels.  When in position to move a load, tilt the unit forward 
again so the support roller is down and in contact with the ground 
and the drive roller is in contact with the load.  Depress the throttle 
gradually to smoothly move the load.

 

 

Precautions to Take Before Rolling a Load 

The PowerHandler should be operated on relatively level and smooth 
concrete (or similar) flooring, as is typical for indoor industrial 
applications.  Operation on sloping (gradient) floors or on uneven 
surfaces is a safety risk and not recommended.   

Before moving the load, ensure the path over which the load will 
travel is not occupied - by either people or obstacles.  Also ensure 
there is not a slope away from the load which could result in the load 
free rolling faster than the PowerHandler.  If possible place a “Safety 
Stop” on the opposite side of the load to the PowerHandler to ensure 
the load cannot move beyond the end of its intended travel.   

Operators should refer to the safety procedures of the facility in which the PowerHandler is being used.  
All precautions required in ensuring a clear path is available, sufficient warning or safety lock-out is put 
into effect and where possible a Safety Stop or similar is in place so as to ensure moving the load will not 
result in damage or injury to property or person.  Appropriate caution should also be exercised in rolling 
loads up inclines due to the risk of the load rolling back onto the operator or other unintended 
movement of the load. 

OPTION:  SAFETY STOP. 

PowerHandling offers an inexpensive wedge shaped 
safety stop that can be moved to position conveniently 
without the operator having to bend down to pick it up 
or kick it into position.  Its ease of use increases the 
likelihood of it being used, increasing operational safety.  
The removable handle shaft can be located in either of 
two optional locations to suit the requirements of any 
paper roll or cable reel stopping application.
