Lifting a Forklift using a Crane
1. Batteries of an electric forklift must be
removed before lifting. Lifting an electric
forklift without removing the batteries can
lead to serious injury to the workers or
damage to the equipment by electric shock
or leakage of electrolyte.
2. The lifting wire rope and stay must be long
enough to avoid contact with the forklift.
Short rope/stay can damage the vehicle. If
it's too long, it may cause interference.
Cover the rope with rubber or cloth to
prevent damage to the vehicle, as
necessary.
3. Wire rope and other lifting tools must have
sufficient strength, and free of any defect or
wear.
4. Avoid impact load to the lifting
devices/tools.
1. Check the weight, length, width and height of
the vehicle before lifting.
2. Park the crane at an appropriate position.
3. Connect the slings to the points A and D of the
figure below.
4. If the sling contacts the vehicle, insert a rubber
plate between the sling and the vehicle.
5. Lift up the vehicle slowly.
How to Fix Forklift to a Carrier
1. The rope/chain must have sufficient length for
fixing.
2. Park the vehicle on a level ground.
3. Set the mast vertically. Lower the fork or
attachment to the lowest position.
4. Set all the operating devices to Neutral
Position. Turn OFF the start switch.
5. Check that the parking brake lamp is on, chock
the wheels with blocks (C).
6. Fix the mast top B and rear tow pin A with
towing hooks, as shown in the figure below.
