Swing Carriage

Swing Carriages - The maximum load capacity intended for forklift jibs in both the extended or retracted positions range beginning from 1935 pounds to 6000 lbs. It is a good idea to ask a material handling specialist concerning the limits for your particular use. The load capacity rankings are for the jib itself and not the lift truck or the maximum load which could be lifted safely using a particular lift truck. It is very important bear in mind that every time whatever attachments like a lift truck jib are fitted to the lift truck, the new center of gravity made by the accessory would reduce the general lift capability of the forklift. There are directions available which offer information on how to accurately estimate these load limits.

Before utilizing a lift truck jib, make certain that it is properly secured to the lift truck using shackles and hooks. Continuously make sure to verify that the screw pins are tight. It is essential to even be sure that the freight calculations have been done properly. Remember to take into account the fact that rated capacities at times lessen when the boom is in a raised position, each time the boom is fully extended with telehandlers or even each time the mast is tilted frontward.

Vital tips every time you are utilizing an adjustable jib is not to ever pull a load with this type of attachment. These kinds of attachments are really only used for vertical lifting. What's more, refrain from letting the load move backward and forward. Utilize extreme caution every time a load is carried so as to prevent tipping over the truck.
