All operating checks as stated in Section (5) below and as stated in AS 2550.1 and/or AS
2359.2 are to be carried out at the start of shifts or immediately prior to the lifting of loads.
Forklift attachments can alter load centres and reduce the load capacity. The type of load to
be handled in addition to the operating conditions must be considered when determining the
actual working capacity for each application.
Do not exceed the recommended Crane, Forklift or Concrete Kibble rating.
WARNING
: Any WLL noted on the Concrete Kibble
is a structural rating of the attachment only and makes
no claim to the suitability of the Crane/Forklift.
Actual load may be restricted to the suitability of the
Crane/Forklift. Actual rated working load of the
Crane must be obtained from the Crane manufacturer.
Actual Forklift capacities must be obtained from the
Forklift manufacturer.
Before the Concrete Kibble elevates any load, the Operator shall lift it to the required
working height to confirm that all systems function correctly.
Ensure all Risk Control Measures, as outlined in Section (5) and detailed in Appendix A, are
complied with before hoisting the Concrete Kibble by Crane or before lifting the Kibble
using an Industrial Truck.
East West Engineering Concrete Kibbles shall not be modified in any way which affects the
operation or performance except with the prior approval of East West Engineering. After
any changes have been effected, appropriate alterations shall be made on the relevant
nameplate and markings prior to placing the Concrete Kibble back into service. East West
Engineering must be notified of the changes to nameplates and markings with reference to
the Concrete Kibble serial number.
Operating Instructions
The Concrete Kibble shall normally be operated and have its movements directed by a
competent person with a ‘WorkSafe’ Dogging or Rigging Certificate.
Before loading any material into the Concrete Kibble, ensure the Discharge Gate is fully
closed. When using the Kibble for “bottom dumping” (ie. without use of the Chute), ensure
the Chute has been secured in its storage/upright position (refer
Fig. 3.1
above) and the
Kibble is directly over the dumping site before opening the Discharge Gate.
When using the Chute, ensure it is anchored into position, angled downwards to allow free
flow with the outer end directly over the dumping site before opening the Discharge Gate.
To open the Discharge Gate, pull the Kibble Handle downwards always closing the Gate by
the reverse action, when enough material has been poured. Flow control of the material is
achieved by the amount the Discharge Gate is opened.
