NOTE
The mass of the aerial platform is as
per Table 4.3. The center of gravity is
approximately located in the middle of the
aerial platform, front to back and side to
side, as illustrated in Figure 3-10. Vertically,
the center of gravity is approximately just
above the base chassis.
NOTE
Except for Models 92xx, the aerial platform
can be lifted with a forklift from the sides,
but Skyjack does not recommend this use.
Lift with forks in designated pockets as
illustrated in Figure 3-11.
3.10-2 Driving
Before driving the aerial platform:
• Ramp or dock capacity must be sufficient to
withstand maximum aerial platform weight.
• Ramp should be equipped with side guards to
prevent inadvertent fall from the ramp.
• Incline must not exceed aerial platform gradeability
(refer to Table 4.3).
• Aerial platform brake must be checked for proper
operation.
• Aerial platform speed must be on high torque
setting.
WARNING
When transporting, the aerial platform
must be secured to the truck or trailer
deck. Tie downs are available as illustrated
in Figure 3.9.
