Driving On Loading Bridges - Still RX20 Series Original Instructions Manual

Operation

Driving on loading bridges

DANGER
Risk of accident from the truck falling!
Steering movements can cause the rear of the truck
to veer off the loading bridge towards the edge.
This may cause the truck to crash.
For three-wheel trucks, the useable area of the
loading bridge must be enclosed so that the rear
drive wheel does not fall through.
The lorry driver and the forklift truck driver must
agree on the departure time of the lorry.
– Establish the departure time of the lorry.
– Determine the total actual weight of the truck.
– Before driving over a loading bridge, observe the
company directive for the loading bridge.
– Make sure that the loading bridge is properly
attached and secured and has a sufficient load
capacity (e.g. lorry, bridge).
– Ensure that the lorry onto which you will be
driving is secured to prevent it from shifting and
that it can support the load of the truck.
Determining the total actual weight
– Park the truck safely.
– Determine the unit weights by reading the
truck nameplate and, if necessary, the
nameplate on the attachment (variant)
and/or by weighing the load to be lifted.
– Add together the determined unit weights to
obtain the total actual weight of the truck:
Tare weight (1)
+ Max. permissible battery weight (2)
+ Ballast weight (variant) (3)
+ Net weight of attachment (variant)
+ Weight of the load to be lifted
+ 100 kg allowance for driver
= Total actual weight
– Drive slowly and carefully on the loading
bridge.
