5.3. For use
•
Use equipment exclusively for lifting and moving materials with features as described in point 3.
•
Ensure the material to move has a weight that falls within the capacity indicated on the identification plate of the fork
and, obviously, that the material and the equipment fall within the capacity of the crane.
•
Important
. To correctly use the fork, it is indispensable to place a welded mesh chain between the crane hook and
the fork ring. The chain must have an upper end with a ring and the lower part with an entry closure hook. Ensure
the chain is suitable for the weight of the load supported, with multiple materials forked (Standards EN 814-4).
•
During operations using the fork, it must be grasped using your hands only using the specific handles.
To regulate point width, proceed as follows:
Mod. MB, MBA, MBCR, MBACR
-
With fork on the ground and without load, laterally push the neck until point slightly lifts, with the weight weighing on
the other point;
-
Use your heel to move the point slightly lifted outwards to the desired width;
-
To block the points, release the fork and screw the hand wheel situated on the upper part up to contrast;
-
To close, gradually unscrew the hand wheel and push the neck to the side. The points will slowly close until the fork
is released.
Mod. MBR MBR-A MBR-M MBRA-E ITA
-
With fork without load and lifted, loosen the wing screws placed over the sleeves on the base;
-
Regulate the width of the points and block them by screwing the wing screws in.
The MBR, MBR-A, MBR-M and MBRA-E models are also height adjustable; proceed as follows:
-
Connect the equipment to the crane as described in point 5.2 and rest it on the ground with no load;
-
Remove the through plug. The upper tube is free to slide on the lower one;
-
Lift the upper part of the fork with the crane to the desired height, corresponding to the perforations;
-
Block the fork by re-inserting the through plug and the safety stop.
Positioning the ring on the different neck points (MBR
– MBCR - MBACR):
1) Fork slightly tilted forward to insert and remove pallet points more easily;
2) Balanced fork with full load.
•
The external points must be opened as much as possible based on the dimensions of the material moved and in any
case they must
always remain inside
the pallet cross-pieces.
•
To correctly lift materials remember that the centre of gravity of the pack lifted must coincide with that of the lifting
fork.
Non-compliance with this condition can cause:
-
The load to tip;
-
Overloading of the two teeth or worse, only one of the two.
•
The capacity indicated on the marking relates to the load uniformly distributed on both points.
•
Avoid moving the load using the end parts of the points.
