V. LOADING AND UNLOADING TRUCKS
The procedure for loading and unloading trucks is easy to learn. Try it with various
types of loads to develop the technique that best suits you.
•
PRACTICE WITH A LIGHT LOAD TO DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS
BEFORE MOVING A HEAVY LOAD.
•
LEARN THE LIMITS OF YOUR OWN STRENGTH.
Although Ultra Lift provides the power, you mush provide back-pressure in
loading trucks, climbing stairs, and overcoming obstacles.
•
LOAD SHAPE IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN ALL TYPES OF
MOVES.
For example, tall loads are easier to move than short compact loads of the
same weight.
•
ACCESSORIES SUCH AS THE MODEL SCL (STRAP AND CHANNEL
LOADING SYSTEM), MODEL THB (TRUCKBED HOOK BOX), OR
OTHER TIE DOWN DEVICES (ITEM C BELOW) GREATLY REDUCE
THE EFFORT REQUIRED IN LOADING A TRUCK.
A. LOADING A TRUCK
1. Move your Ultra Lift to the
tailgate of the truck as illustrated.
Leave enough space for the
wheels to clear the tailgate when
they are raised.
2. PUSH the control switch to raise
the wheels as illustrated. Test
the strength of the tailgate before
raising a heavy load. A heavy
load may dent or buckle a light
duty tailgate. Some tailgates may
be removed during loading. A
second alternative is to place a
piece of plywood over the tailgate
during loading.
