Material lifts equipped with a load platform

  1.  Place the load platform on the forks.

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.
