4.3.4  LIFTKAR is not a rubber pad 

 

 

In the beverage industry drums are sometimes directly thrown from the truck onto the 
hand truck instead of a rubber pad or old tyre. 

 

This is not possible with the LIFTKAR when the support wheels are in the descending 
position. The impact will be transmitted to the connecting bar via the drive unit, which 
may result in fracture. With the support wheels raised between the main wheels, 
throwing barrels on the unit is possible in principle since the pneumatic tyres would 
absorb part of the impact, it is nevertheless not recommended as it detrimental to 
service life. 

 

4.3.5  Inadvertent battery ejection 

 
 
 

For all normal operations the battery 
is  held  securely  by  locking  hooks.  A 
strong  pull  is  required  to  remove  it. 
Abuse  of  the  LIFTKAR  by  moving 
backwards  very  quickly,  and  striking 
a  high  step,  or  similar,  will  result  in 
the  battery  being  ejected  from  its 
location.  

 

 

Depending  on  the  drivestyle  of  the  user  it  might  be  an  ongoing  problem.  
For this we offer as an option a battery-blocker (nr. 930 140). 

 

4.3.6  Failure to negotiate steps "square-on" 

Failure  to  negotiate  steps  "square-on"  will  result  in  damage  to  the  underside  of  the 
drive unit.
