STEP 1: Approach the load so the weight will be centered between the fork tines. The
heaviest side of the load should be positioned closest to the pallet fork frame.
STEP 2: Make sure the fork tines are level and are completely under the load.
STEP 3: Slightly lift the load, and make sure it is secure. If the load appears to be unstable,
lower it, reposition it, and repeat steps 2 and 3 until the load is stable.
Operation
Before you operate the attachment, check over pins and
connections to be sure all are securely in place. Make sure
the pallet fork is securely latched to the vehicle.
Personal protection
equipment including
hard hat, safety glasses,
safety shoes, and gloves
are recommended during
assembly, installation,
operation, maintenance,
removal, or movement of
the pallet fork.
The pallet fork is
designed to be operated
from the vehicle seat.
Keep bystanders away
from the work area. Do
not operate with another
person near or in contact
with any part of the pallet
fork.
Do not use the pallet fork
as a work platform. Do
not stand or climb on the
pallet fork.
The maximum load lifted by the pallet fork should never exceed the rated capacity.
The rated capacity of each pallet fork can be found on the side of the fork tine.
The maximum capacity is based on a 24” load center. Lifting a load heavier than
the rated capacity or centered farther than 24” out on the fork tines can result in
damage to the pallet fork and will void all warranties.
Do not allow riders on
the equipment at any
time. There is no safe
place for any riders.
Never allow anyone
under the attachment at
any time.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s rated operating load. If
necessary, use sufficient counterweights.
The pallet fork is designed to vertically lift stable objects.
Only lift objects that have solid bases that rest securely on
the forks.
Do not lift any objects that exceed the height of the brick
guard.
Do not lift any objects that are not secured or banded which
may be small enough to fit through the openings in the
brick guard.
