Figure 3
On-loading!
 Check that the load carrier is inside the discs. Release the brakes on both the
towing vehicle and the trailer to make it easier to roll on the load. Check the
position of the tower during on-loading so that the container bridge’s frame
does not catch on the rollers from behind.
 The tower must be completely retracted when rolling on the container bridge
in order to increase lifting force and reduce the strain on the towing eyelet.
Ensure that the container frame does not catch in the rollers at the back of the
trailer. Adjust the tower outwards continually during exchange in order to
move past the rollers. If the tower is not adjusted upwards during on-loading,
there is a considerable risk of the exchange’s lock being damaged if the
container frame catches in the rollers.
Figure 4
Check that the hook hitches
around the loop.
Check that the frame lock and bogie blocking are
activated.
STOP
Stop if the tractor lifts off the ground!
IMPORTANT! Follow the movement with the extendable tower so that the
front of the hooklift trailer’s frame does not catch on the rollers. When you
have passed the rollers, always keep the hooklift trailer’s frame close to the
rollers.
Off-loading!
Release the brakes on both the towing vehicle and the trailer to make it easier to roll off the load. Check the
position of the tower during off-loading so that the container bridge’s frame does not catch on the rollers
from above.
Lock the frame and activate bogie blocking between the towing vehicle and trailer.
1. Raise the hooklift frame slightly so that the container bridge does not scrape against the frame when you
slide it backwards.
2. Then extend the tower backwards so that the locking rails/wings on the container bridge frame move
freely and cannot be damaged.
3. Adjust the tower upwards continually so that the container frame does not catch on the rollers at the back
of the trailer during off-loading.
4. If the tower is not adjusted during off-loading, there is a considerable risk of the exchange’s lock being
damaged if the container frame catches in the rollers.
