H9 – LIFT TRUCK ON A PLATFORM
TRANSPORTING
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the safety instructions associated with the platform are complied with before loading the lift truck and
that the driver of the carrier vehicle is informed of the dimensions and the weight of the lift truck
(see 2 - DESCRIPTION: CHARACTERISTICS).
Ensure that the platform is of sufficient size and load capacity for transporting the lift truck.
Check also the allowable ground contact pressure of the platform relative to the lift truck.
For lift trucks equipped with a turbo-charged engine, block off the exhaust outlet to avoid rotation of the turbo shaft
without lubrication when transporting the vehicle.
LOADING THE LIFT TRUCK
- Block the wheels of the platform.
- Attach the loading ramps to the platform in such a way as to give the shallowest
possible ramp angle for the lift truck.
- Load the lift truck parallel to the platform.
- Shut down the lift truck (see: 1 - OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: DRIVING
INSTRUCTIONS UNLADEN AND LADEN).
STOWING THE LIFT TRUCK
- Fix the chocks to the platform at the front and at the back of each tyre.
- Also fix the chocks to the platform on the inside of each tyre.
- Secure the lift truck to the platform with sufficiently strong ropes to the anchoring
points 1 provided.
- Tighten the ropes.
