Safety Guidelines
Condition of equipment:
Before using the GF-Quad Dolly check to ensure that all components (removable
wheels, steering rod, steering axles, turnstile mount, Euro-adapter, tripod etc) are
secured correctly and that the respective safety elements are in place.
To avoid unwanted platform movement and instability, ensure that the 4 pneumatic
wheels are filled to the manufacturers recommend tire pressure of 2,8Bar / 40PSI.
In cases where the dolly is used with lower pressure, ensure that all 4 tires have the
same pressure.
To ensure an optimal working situation, only original GFM parts and accessories
should be used with the GF-Quad Dolly.
Working surface conditions and payload:
Ensure that the ground surface is stable and cannot give way. The ground surface
must be stable enough to support at least 500 kg/m2 = 1100 lbs/ sq yard
In general the working surface must be flat, horizontal, solid enough to take the
respective load and free from obstructions. Should these conditions not be available
naturally then they must be created. In such cases the dolly must be used on track
and the track must be assembled on a stable underlay. The correct underlay must be
used and it must be ensured that the track and underlay are secured against moving,
slipping and collapse. Ensure that the underlay meets the specified weight
requirements and stability requirements and is laid in a manner that does not cause
the operators to trip over.
When using a track system the assembly instructions and safety guidelines must be
read and understood before set-up or operation.
Loading the Dolly:
When loading the GF-Quad Dolly it is important to achieve an equal distribution of
weight. Avoid one sided or off-set payloads at either side or end of the main dolly
platform and also on the extra side platforms.
Loading the dolly equally reduces the risk of tipping it over and ensures a safer and
more comfortable working environment.
The maximum working load on the GF-Quad Dolly is 250 kg / 550 lbs and
consists of:
2 pers, accessories and camera
The maximum working load may not be exceeded!
