It is essential to bear in mind that each time whichever accessories such as a forklift jib are fitted to the lift truck, the new center of gravity made by the attachment would lessen the overall lift capacity of the forklift. There are directions available that offer information on the way to properly determine these load limits.

Prior to utilizing any forklift jib, make sure that the shackles and hooks are correctly secured to the lift truck. Verify and also double check that the pins are tight. It is necessary that the load calculations are properly made and double checked. Keep in mind to consider the truth that rated capacities at times decrease each time the boom is in a raised position, when the boom is fully extended with telehandlers or even whenever the mast is tilted forward.

Vital suggestions whenever utilizing an adjustable jib is not to ever pull a load with the use of this particular kind of accessory. These kinds of additions are actually just used for vertical raising. Additionally, avoid letting the load move back and forth. Use extreme caution any time a load is lifted so as to avoid tipping over the truck.
