Easy Hitch Mounting Kit
Introduction
The Truck Mounted Forklift is designed to be
transported on the rear of a truck or trailer.
This section of the manual explains the mounting
procedures for an Easy Hitch Mounting Kit.
During transport the front wheels of the Truck Mounted
Forklift rest against the tire pads of the mounting kit.
The actual weight of the machine is supported by the
hooks on the chassis which hook into hitch pins on the
mounting kit, while the steel transport chains are used
as an additional safety feature. The stop lights and
directional signal lights of the truck or trailer are
connected to the Truck Mounted Forklift by means of an
electrical cable (wiring pigtail).
DANGER:
Transport. A manufacturer approved mounting kit must
be fitted to your vehicle for transporting the Truck
Mounted Forklift. Contact your Truck Mounted Forklift
distributor for further details of approved mounting
kits.
WARNING:
Transport. Do not attempt to transport the Truck
Mounted Forklift unless you have read the mounting
section of the manual very carefully!
Note: When the Truck Mounted Forklift is not on the
mounting kit, the D.O.T bumper MUST be folded out
and pinned at all times ensuring the lights are visible at
all times.
