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.
