• This lifting fixture is intended for use on liftgates
equipped with steel or aluminum platforms.
• Make the lifting
¿[WXUH
from tubular steel at least
1/4 inch thick or thicker.
• Make the lifting
¿[WXUH
wide enough to support the
liftgate and to accommodate the width of the forks on
the forklift.

to the liftgate
(not used to lift aluminum platforms).
• The lifting bolt should be long enough to go through
the lifting hole in the liftgate and allow the lifting
¿[WXUH
to remain level (not used to lift aluminum platforms).
