Fields of application for pallet forks
• The pallet forks are mainly used for picking up, transporting and loading palletised
material and staple commodities.
• Get informed on the legal regulations of your country which may prohibit driving on
public roads with loaded pallet forks!
➥ – see chapter 1 “Fields of application and using a wheel loader with an attachment”
on page 1-5
• The machine and the attachment may be used for applications with lifting gear only if
the prescribed safety devices are in place and functional.
Picking up loads with the pallet forks
If the machine is equipped with the “Hose burst valve” option, make sure the
load stabiliser (option) is switched off!
☞ The hose burst valve is disabled if the load stabiliser is switched on
☞ Pick up loads as follows:
• Move the wheel loader up to the load so that the pallet forks or the fork arms are at a
right angle to the load
➥ The fork arms must be the furthest possible apart, and at an equal distance from the
left and right side of the load
• Drive the wheel loader forwards and move the fork arms as far as possible under-
neath the pallet.
➥ The load must fit close to the fork frame
• Carefully raise the load and
• Slightly dump in the load
Do not exceed the loader's output limit
☞ Observe the load diagram! Affixed at the rear of the loader unit bulkhead
