Swing Carriages

Swing Carriage - The load capacity of a forklift jib has a maximum of around 1935 pounds to as much as 6000 lbs on either the retracted or extended positions range. You might want to discuss with a material handling specialist concerning the particular limits of your forklift application. The load capacity ratings are for the jib itself and not the lift truck or even the maximum load which could be transferred securely utilizing a certain lift truck. It is very important keep in mind that every time any attachments like for example a forklift jib are connected to the forklift, the new center of gravity made by the attachment will decrease the general lift capacity of the forklift. There are instructions obtainable that offer information on how to properly calculate these load limits.

Prior to using whatever lift truck jib, make sure that the hooks and shackles are properly secured to the lift truck. Make sure and also double check that the pins are tight. It is necessary that the weight calculations are properly made and double checked. Bear in mind to take into account the truth that rated capacities occasionally lessen whenever the boom is in a raised position, whenever the boom is extended with telehandlers or even when the mast is tilted forward.

Vital suggestions when using an adjustable jib is not to ever pull a load using this particular kind of attachment. These kinds of attachments are really just designed for vertical lifting. What's more, avoid letting the load sway. Use extreme caution every time a load is lifted in order to avoid tipping over the truck.
