Unloading With a Forklift
When unloading or moving reels with a forklift care must be taken.
First check that the forklift can lift at least 200 lbs. more than the
weight of the reel. Then verify that the forks are long enough to
completely cover the distance from one flange of the reel to the
other flange of the reel. Utilize the drive-on roll-off position; forks
must be placed under both reel flanges as shown in the diagram,
flat side of the flange facing the driver. Reels may also be lifted by
placing forks through the center of the reel. Do not carry more than
one reel at a time in this position. Do not attempt to pick up reel
with forks on conduit. Do not attempt to lift stacked reels by the
upper flange.
DO NOT drop reels off the back of the truck onto a
stack of tires, onto the ground or any other surface.
The impact may injure personnel and damage the reels, conduit
and/or the cable inside.
Always use ample personnel to safely unload shipments of conduit.
