Swing Carriages

Swing Carriage - The maximum load capacity intended for forklift jibs in both the extended or retracted positions range beginning from 1935 lbs to as much as 6000 pounds. It is a good suggestion to ask a material handling specialist about the restrictions for your specific application. The load capacity ratings are really meant for the jib itself and not the forklift or even the utmost load that could be carried safely using a certain lift truck. It is essential to keep in mind that whenever whichever accessories such as a forklift jib are added to the forklift, the new center of gravity created by the accessory would reduce the general lift capability of the forklift. There are directions accessible that offer details on how to accurately estimate these load limits.

Before utilizing a forklift jib, make sure that it is well secured to the forklift utilizing shackles and hooks. Continuously double check to verify that the screw pins are tight. It is very important to also be sure that the weight calculations have been done correctly. Remember to consider the fact that rated capacities at times decrease each time the boom is in a raised position, each time the boom is fully extended with telehandlers or when the mast is tilted frontward.

Some significant suggestions regarding the modifiable jib are: do not ever pull a load using a lift truck jib attachment, in view of the fact that these kinds of attachments are really meant for vertical lift only. At all times pick up the load without letting it move back and forth. Use extreme caution each time a load is carried in order to prevent tipping over the truck.
