Swing Carriage

Swing Carriage - The maximum load capacity for forklift jibs in both the extended or retracted positions vary starting from 1935 pounds to 6000 lbs. It is a good suggestion to ask a material handling specialist regarding the limits for your particular use. The load capacity rankings are intended for the jib itself and not the lift truck or the maximum load which can be moved safely using a particular forklift. It is important to remember that every time whichever accessories like for instance a forklift jib are added to the lift truck, the new center of gravity created by the attachment would reduce the overall lift capacity of the forklift. There are instructions available that provide information on how to correctly calculate these load limits.

Prior to using a lift truck jib, make certain that it is well secured to the lift truck using hooks and shackles. Constantly double check in order to verify that the screw pins are tight. It is very important to even double check that the weight calculations have been made properly. Bear in mind to take into account the fact that rated capacities occasionally lessen each time the boom is in an elevated position, every time the boom is fully extended with telehandlers or even when the mast is slanted frontward.

Essential pointers each time you are utilizing an adjustable jib is to never pull a load with the use of this kind of attachment. These types of attachments are only used for vertical raising. Furthermore, refrain from letting the load swing. Use extreme caution any time a load is lifted to be able to prevent tipping over the truck.
