Operation
Loading
Drive the forklift truck to just in front of the drum (FK1) to be lifted. Raise
-
the transport unit so high that the grabbers are at the height of the
upper rim of the drum.
Now drive slowly forwards and lower the forks slightly. With this
-
procedure the grabbers open and grab the drum(s).
As soon as you now raise the drum grippers slowly the grabbers hold
fast under the drum rim and is possible to transport the drum.
Moving the drums
When the load has been securely accepted by the drum grippers the procedure can take place slowly over
-
even ground.
Only transport drums picked up at walking pace
-
Unloading
For unloading lower the drum grippers carefully. As soon as the load touches the ground the grabbers unlock.
