Before loading, familiarise yourself with the requirements for the loading methods as well as for the
vehicles/trailers for lift transportation. Read and adhere to the respective conditions.
4. Movement
1.
Place the lift in its transport position in front
of the trailer. The trailer must be braced and
its brake must be engaged securely. The
wheels of the trailer must also be secured
with wedges to prevent rolling.
2.
Only move the lift onto the trailer if you can
ensure that the ramp can sustain sufficient
load bearing capacity and stability as well as
being adequately secured against slipping.
3.
Check that the mast system is in a lowered
position and properly secured by the mast
element transport safety hook. Examine the
lift for any loose parts and make sure that
the lateral outriggers (if equipped) are
secured and in a folded position.
3.
Move the lift with at least two or
more people, to be able to push it up the
ramp and onto the trailer
.
WARNING:
The lift may roll backwards. If the lift is
not secured against rolling, injuries may
occur!
4.
Position the lift manually at the place
required on the loading area.
5.
Engage the safety brakes on the casters that
are in contact with the surface of the
loading area.
6.
Ensure that the lift is secured properly with
the appropriate belts/chains in order to avoid
any uncontrolled movements or any
possibility of it tipping-over etc. Avoid
damage to any lift components when
securing it.
Unloading:
1.
Ensure that you have enough space between
the trailer and any possible obstructions
nearby. The lift may roll uncontrollably
backwards.
2.
To unload the lift, loosen the belts/chains
and then disengage the safety brakes on
the casters.
3.
Move the lift carefully and slowly towards the
place where the edge of the trailer meets the
ramp. The ramp must
have
sufficient load
bearing capacity and stability as well as
being adequately secured against slipping.
4.
Secure the lift as much as possible to avoid
it rolling down the ramp and thereby
decreasing the risk of any accidents or injury.
5.
If the lift is to be unloaded off the loading
area by means of a ramp, make sure that at
least two burly people are available to enable
the lift to roll down in a controlled manner.
6.
Let the lift move slowly down the ramp,
the moment the lift clears the ramp
completely and is in contact with the level
ground, it can then be released.
WARNING:
Ensure that you have enough space
available near the trailer to enable you to
avoid the lift if it rolls uncontrollably
backwards.
