Swing Carriage

Swing Carriage - The load capacity of a forklift jib has a maximum of about 1935 lbs up to 6000 pounds on either the retracted or extended positions range. You may have to discuss with a material handling specialist regarding the specific limits of your forklift use. The load capacity ratings are meant for the jib itself and not the lift truck or the maximum load that could be lifted securely with a particular forklift. It is very important keep in mind that whenever whichever accessories like a forklift jib are attached to the forklift, the new center of gravity created by the accessory would decrease the general lift capability of the forklift. There are guidelines available that offer information on how to accurately determine these load limits.

Before using whichever lift truck jib, make sure that the hooks and shackles are properly secured to the forklift. Make sure and even double check that the pins are tight. It is very important that the load calculations are properly done and double checked. Remember to take into consideration the fact that rated capacities sometimes decrease every time the boom is in a raised position, every time the boom is extended with telehandlers or even when the mast is slanted frontward.

Essential pointers when utilizing an adjustable jib is not to ever pull a load utilizing this particular type of attachment. These kinds of additions are really just meant for vertical raising. Additionally, refrain from letting the load sway. Utilize extreme caution any time a load is lifted to prevent tipping over the truck.
