Positioning the Load
1. Determine the following before placing a load on the
material lift:
y
Weight of the load.
y
Location of the load center.
y
Distance between the load center and the side of the
load that will be closest to the carriage.
Note
Load center refers to the center of gravity of the load and
may not be its physical center. The heaviest side of an
uneven load should always be positioned closest to the
carriage on the material lift.
2. Refer to the chart below to determine if the material
lift can lift the desired weight.
Warning
Raising a load that exceeds the maximum load capac -
ity of the material lift creates a tip over hazard. Death
or serious injury could result from such accidents. Do
not exceed the load capacity values indicated on the
machine serial plate and in this Operator’s Manual.
3. Place the load on the load lifting attachment.
Warning
Raising a load that is not properly centered on the
material lift creates a tip over hazard. Death or serious
injury could result from such accidents. Properly
center the load before using the material lift to posi -
tion the material.
4. Position the load as close to the carriage as possible,
with the load center centered between the forks.
Warning
Raising a load that is not securely fastened to the load
lifting attachment creates a tip over hazard. Death
or serious injury could result from such accidents.
Securely fasten the load before using the material lift
to position the material.
5. Secure the load to the load lifting attachment.
