• This coil mover is a front end attachment for lift trucks. Contact the manufacturers of all forklifts that will use the
attachment before putting the attachment into service. Lift truck manufacturers must provide: 1) written approval to

the forklift and carrier at maximum elevation with a laterally-centered load. DO NOT use the coil mover until your
forklifts are marked. If the forklift manufacturer does not respond to your request for approval or refuses to provide
approval, then a qualified, registered professional engineer may provide written approval.
