Swing Carriages

Swing Carriage - The most load capacity for forklift jibs in both the extended or retracted positions range beginning from 1935 pounds up to 6000 lbs. It's a good suggestion to ask a material handling specialist concerning the limits for your particular use. The load capacity ratings are used for the jib itself and not the lift truck or the maximum load which could be handled safely utilizing a certain lift truck. It is important to bear in mind that at any time when whichever accessories like for example a forklift jib are connected to the lift truck, the new center of gravity made by the accessory will reduce the overall lift capability of the forklift. There are instructions obtainable that provide information on how to accurately determine these load limits.

Prior to the use of any lift truck jib, be sure that the hooks and shackles are properly secured to the lift truck. Be sure and even double check that the pins are tight. It is necessary that the weight calculations have been correctly made and double checked. Remember to take into account the truth that rated capacities sometimes lessen each time the boom is in an elevated position, each time the boom is extended with telehandlers or even each time the mast is tilted frontward.

Vital suggestions when utilizing an adjustable jib is to never pull a load utilizing this sort of attachment. These types of accessories are actually only designed for vertical raising. Also, refrain from letting the load swing. Use extreme caution each and every time a load is lifted so as to prevent tipping over the truck.
