Swing Carriage

Swing Carriage - The most load capacity intended for forklift jibs in both the retracted or extended positions vary from 1935 lbs up to 6000 pounds. It is a good suggestion to ask a material handling specialist about the limits for your particular application. The load capacity ratings are for the jib itself and not the forklift or the utmost load that could be carried securely utilizing a particular forklift. It is important to bear in mind that each time any accessories like a forklift jib are fitted to the forklift, the new center of gravity created by the attachment would reduce the overall lift capability of the forklift. There are directions accessible which provide information on the way to accurately gauge these load limits.

Before the use of whatever forklift jib, make sure that the hooks and shackles are properly secured to the forklift. Be sure and even double check that the pins are tight. It is necessary that the load calculations are correctly made and double checked. Bear in mind to consider the truth that rated capacities occasionally lessen whenever the boom is in a raised position, every time the boom is extended with telehandlers or each time the mast is tilted frontward.

Several important suggestions concerning the modifiable jib are: don't ever pull a load using a lift truck jib attachment, as these types of attachments are actually meant for vertical lift only. At all times pick up the load without letting it move back and forth. Use extreme caution every time a load is lifted to be able to avoid tipping over the truck.
