is dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. Ultimately, the most effective way to prevent injury
is to apply sound judgment whenever using this device.
Risk of death or serious personal injuries.
•
This coil mover is a front end attachment for lift trucks. Contact the manufacturers of all forklifts that will use the
attachment before putting the attachment into service. Lift truck manufacturers must provide: 1) written approval to
use the attachment; and 2) markings for each forklift that identify the coil carrier AND give the approximate weight of
the forklift and carrier at maximum elevation with a laterally-centered load.
DO NOT use the coil mover until your
forklifts are marked
. If the forklift manufacturer does not respond to your request for approval or refuses to provide
approval, then a qualified, registered professional engineer may provide written approval.
•
DO NOT exceed the capacity. See Label 1153 on product; also shown in
on p. 7. THE
CAPACITY OF THE TRUCK AND COIL MOVER COMBINATION MIGHT BE LESS THAN THE CAPACITY SHOWN
ON THE COIL MOVER. CONSULT THE LIFT TRUCK NAMEPLATE AND UPDATED CAPACITY MARKINGS.
•
Lift trucks equipped with front end attachments, like this coil mover, behave as partially loaded trucks even when
operated without a load on the attachment.

Before attaching the coil mover to the carriage of your fork lift, qualified inspection personnel should inspect the
carriage and confirm nominal condition.
•
Make sure that the coil (load) is stable on the mover by lifting the coil just a few inches above the ground. Load
