A second person may be required to check the support plates.
It is common for a large capacity conventional forklift to be used when loading trucks or trailers in a yard. Do not expect the Truck Mounted Forklift to lift the load just because 24" a conventional yard forklift initially loaded it.
1. The load capacity may vary depending on the The following sample load capacity chart illustrates the attachments used. Consult the load chart on your rated stacking capacity of a Truck Mounted Forklift machine for the actual rated capacity. equipped with standard forks.
The mast does not move forward and backward like a Truck Mounted Forklift. The front wheels of a conventional counterbalanced forklift are the points of pivot known as the fulcrum point.
(continued) This action increases the counterbalance effect and enables the Truck Mounted Forklift to lift the rated Truck Mounted Forklift capacity with the mast in the forward position without An important feature of the Truck Mounted Forklift is the need for a large counterweight.

Tilt the fork carriage compartment such as lunch boxes, tools etc. so the tips of the forks touch the ground.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Using Stabilizers Basic Load Techniques Traveling Without a Load WARNING: Always extend the mast fully forward. Keep the forks as low as possible. . When placing a load, always place the load Stabilizers Never travel with mast back and no load. on a firm and level surface.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads Cubed Loads A cubed load is one that fits between the front wheels and the frame of the machine. To achieve maximum machine and load stability, the load should be carried with the mast retracted and as low as possible between the frame of the machine at all times.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Lifting a Cubed Load from Ground Level 1. Align the forks to suit the load. 2. Approach the load squarely and drive slowly forward until the forks are fully engaged. 3. Check that the surface is strong enough to support the stabilizers. If not, place a metal or wooden support underneath which is strong enough to support the stabilizers.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Traveling With a Cubed Load 1. Carry the load as low as possible between the frame of the machine. 2. Keep the mast retracted fully. 3. Tilt the mast back. 4. Do not side-shift the load while traveling or turning. 5.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Placing a Cubed Load at Ground Level 1. Check the area and be certain that the load can be safely placed. 2. Approach the placement area squarely. 3. Check that the surface is strong enough to support the stabilizers. If not, place a metal or wooden support underneath which is strong enough to support the stabilizers.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Wide Loads A wide load is a load that will not fit between front wheels and frame of the forklift. Common types of wide load are piping or lumber products. Note: Make sure the load to be lifted is stable and secure.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Lifting a Wide Load 1. Align the forks to suit the load. 2. Approach the load squarely and drive slowly forward until the forks are fully engaged. 3. Check that the surface is strong enough to support the stabilizers. If not, place a metal or wooden support underneath which is strong enough to support the stabilizers.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Traveling With a Wide Load 1. Carry the load as low as possible above the frame of the machine. 2. Keep the mast retracted fully. 3. Tilt the mast back. 4. Do not side-shift the load while traveling or turning. 5.

A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Non Palletized or Loose Loads Use skids when necessary to allow insertion of the forks beneath the load. Do not allow the skids to interfere with the fork placement. Secure loose loads to prevent them from falling or shifting.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Loads above Ground Level These techniques apply to: Stacking one load on top of another. Loading a truck or trailer. Unloading a truck or trailer. Picking Up a Load above Ground Level 1.
Page 84
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) 6. Check that the surface is strong enough to support the stabilizers. If not, place a metal or wooden support underneath, strong enough to support them. 7. Lower the stabilizers fully. 8. If it is not possible to engage the forks fully, follow the procedure outlined in the section titled Double Forking until the forks are fully engaged.
Page 85
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) 13. Raise the stabilizers fully. 14. Check behind and back up slightly to clear the pick-up area. 15. Never maneuver or turn with a raised load. 16. Lower the load as close to the ground as possible. 17.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Double Forking If it is not possible to engage the forks fully when lifting the load from a truck or trailer, it will be necessary to move the load to the edge of the body of the vehicle before picking it up. This is known as double forking. Remember that the lift capacity of the machine is reduced if the forks are not fully engaged.
A4. OPERATING PROCEDURES Lifting and Placing Loads (continued) Placing or Stacking a Load above Ground Level 1. Approach the landing area squarely and with care. 2. Side-shift the load if necessary. 3. Raise the load above the level of the landing area or trailer. 4.

The pedal should return to neutral and the forklift should come to an immediate stop. Seatbelt – With the parking brake in the OFF position and the seatbelt unfastened the Truck Mounted Forklift should not be able to drive in either the forward or reverse direction. With the parking brake in the OFF position and the seatbelt fastened ensure the machine will drive in both the forward and rearward direction.
Page 114
Park Brake – Switch on the parking brake and attempt to drive forward and reverse. If the parking brake is functioning properly the Truck Mounted Forklift should not move. It is also necessary to carry out a park brake test.
Transport Chains – Check for damaged or dislodged pins on the end shackles at either end of both chains. The bolts and lock nuts that retain the transport chains on either side of the Truck Mounted Forklift should be in place.
Any time the Truck Mounted Forklift is being operated and is involved in an accident, the whole seatbelt 2. Buckle Operation – Check the buckle for damage assembly must be replaced.
