15’ SAS FORKS:
Lift with engine close to wheel loader
and fork carriage.
Typical Load Center of Weight
Dismantled vehicles, which have the engine and transmission removed have different
load centers than vehicles that are complete
with
engines and transmissions. Verify
load is evenly balanced and does not exceed load rating before lifting. Failure to maintain a balanced load can
result in the load falling from forks resulting in serious injury or death. Always check that load is solid and sta-
ble on the forks before lifting or moving the load.
6’ & 7’ SAS FORKS:
Position
one fork close to and just
behind the front wheels
and the
second fork forward of rear wheel.
Typical Load Center of Weight
