allen AR21 - Lifting a Buggy with a Forklift

Lifting a Buggy with a Forklift
1. Make sure the bucket is completely empty.
2. Lower the bucket completely against the buggy frame.
3. Lower the operator’s platform to the stand-on position.
4. Use a forklift rated to lift a minimum 2,000 LB. payload. The forks on the lift must not
exceed five (5) inches in width and one and one-half (1-1/2) inches in thickness.
5. The forklift should only be operated by licensed, OSHA approved operator.
6. Insert the two (2) forks into the two (2) lifting pockets on either the right or left side of
the buggy in the locations shown below. The forks must be inserted completely under
the buggy frame and fully engage the two (2) pockets on the opposite side of the frame.
Continue inserting the forks into the pockets in the buggy frame until the forklift mast
touch- es the buggy.
7. Lift the buggy up only high enough to clear the highest obstacle. Tilt the forks back so
the buggy is secure against the forklift mast.
NOTE: all rubber tired models (excluding track models) built after December 2003 have
additional lifting pockets on the buggy frame to permit lifting the buggy from the REAR.
Follow the procedure outlined above with the following changes:
1. Raise the operator’s platform to the upright / walk-behind position.
2. Insert the forks into the two (2) lifting pockets at the rear of the buggy. Continue
to insert the forks into the rear pockets until they engage the lifting pockets behind the
front wheels and the mast of the forklift is against the uplifted operator’s platform.
