4.10 Lifting, transporting and depositing loads
WARNING!
Risk of accident when the centre of gravity of the load is outside of the load
centre distance
If the centre of gravity G of a raised load lies outside the load centre distance D
specified for the load handler in the horizontal or vertical planes, under unfavourable
conditions the raised load and also the truck can tip over while working.
u
Observe load centre distances and capacities of the load handler, see page 31.
u
Pick up the load so that its centre of gravity lies between the load arms of the load
handler.
u
Preferably, the load should be configured and picked up so that its centre distance
lies within the load centre distance of the load handler (d
1
≤ D and d
2
≤ D, see area
DD in the illustration).
u
A load with a centre of gravity outside of the load centre distance of the load
handler (d
1
> D and/or d
2
> D) should only be moved very carefully, as this load
case has not been checked on a truck tested according to the test guideline.
Z
For loads with an even weight distribution, the load centre distance lies in the
geometrical centre of the volume.
Z
For rectangular loads with an even weight distribution over the entire volume the
load centre distance is in the middle, i.e. half the length, half the height and half the
width of the load.
