Swing Carriage - The load capacity of a lift truck jib has a most of around 1935 lbs to as much as 6000 pounds on either the retracted or extended positions range. You might want to ask a material handling specialist concerning the particular limits of your lift truck use. The load capacity ratings are meant for the jib itself and not the forklift or even the maximum load which can be handled securely using a certain forklift. It is essential to bear in mind that each time whichever accessories such as a lift truck jib are added to the forklift, the new center of gravity created by the accessory will reduce the overall lift capacity of the forklift. There are directions available that provide details on the way to accurately determine these load limits.
Before using whichever lift truck jib, be sure that the shackles and hooks are correctly secured to the lift truck. Be sure and even double check that the pins are tight. It is very important that the weight calculations are correctly made and double checked. Remember to take into consideration the fact that rated capacities sometimes lessen whenever the boom is in a raised position, when the boom is fully extended with telehandlers or even each time the mast is tilted forward.
Important tips when utilizing an adjustable jib is not to ever pull a load with this type of accessory. These types of accessories are actually just meant for vertical raising. Moreover, avoid letting the load move backward and forward. Use extreme caution each and every time a load is carried to prevent tipping over the truck.
