LOAD RECOMMENDATION INSTRUCTIONS

The following Load Recommendation Chart (next page) outlines the recommended
maximum weight that can be moved safely by one operator in three different moving
configurations.
1. On and off vehicles or loading docks.
2. Up and down stairs.
3. Over flat surfaces.

locations shown inside the shaded areas of the Load Recommendation Chart. Loads
with center of gravity locations above these areas can also be moved but do not
generally require the use of the moveable carriage.
In order to determine if your load and its specific center of gravity location can be
moved safely, complete the following three steps:
Determine the weight of your load in pounds (lbs.)
1.
Establish where the weight is concentrated in the load. This center of gravity
2.
location is measured in inches (in.) and is determined by
The distance forward from the back of the load
A)
The distance up from the bottom of the load
B)
On the Load Recommendation Chart locate center of gravity location for your
3.
load. From this determine that your load does not exceed the recommended
maximum weight for that center of gravity location.
If your specific move requires two or three different moving configurations, then use
the least of the recommended maximum loads.
NOTE: Load recommendations are calculated for trained and experienced
operators and should be used accordingly.
