HOW TO MOVE A DISABLED LIFT TRUCK

WARNING
Use extra care when towing a lift truck if there is a
problem with any of the following:
1. Brakes do not operate correctly.
2. Steering does not operate properly.
3. Tires are damaged.
4. Traction conditions are bad.
5. The lift truck must be moved on a steep grade.
Poor traction can cause the disabled lift truck or towing
vehicle to slide. Steep grades will require additional brake
force to stop the lift truck.
Never carry a disabled lift truck unless the lift truck MUST
be moved and cannot be towed. The lift truck used to carry
the disabled lift truck MUST have a rated capacity equal to
or greater than the weight of the disabled lift truck. The

the disabled lift truck.
See the nameplate of the disabled lift truck for the
approximate total weight. The forks must extend the full
width of the disabled lift truck. Center the weight of the
disabled lift truck on the forks and be careful not to damage
the under side of the lift truck.

How to Tow the Lift Truck

1. The towed lift truck must have an operator.
2. Press the brake pedal during towing to release the
brake.
3. Tow the lift truck slowly.
4. Raise the carriage and forks approximately 30 cm (12
inches) from the surface. Install a chain to prevent the
carriage and mast channels from moving.
5. If another lift truck is used to tow the disabled lift truck,
that lift truck must have an equal or larger capacity than the
disabled lift truck. Install an approximate half-capacity load
on the forks of the lift truck that is being used to tow the
