For a correct insertion, it is necessary to position the pallet correctly on transportation surface before inserting the clamps... Qimarox advises to use a mechanical pallet stopper and to center the pallet. WARNING Danger of products or pallet falling. Incorrectly inserted pallet clamps might cause the stack to fall forward or sideways or might cause products to fall from the top of the stack.
Danger of products or pallet falling. Incorrectly adjusted forks might cause a pallet to fall from the top of the stack. Contact Qimarox with any deviation of pallet sizes for the required lift finger position to match that specific pallet size!
