B. Using Another Lift Truck As A Hoist
Be sure that hoist lift truck has enough capacity to lift the
counterweight or injury to personnel could result.
NOTE
It is recommended that this procedure be conducted by a
crew of two. One crew member should attend the
counterweight while the other operates the hoist truck.
1.
Move the lift truck into a convenient position with
adequate clearance for maneuvering of the hoist
truck.
Be sure the parking brake is applied and blocks put at
the front and rear of drive wheels or damage to
equipment could result.
2.
Install lifting chains, sling, or spreader bar on the
forks of the hoist truck. Be sure to wrap a safety
chain around the forks and fork bar to prevent
hoist chain from slipping off the tip of forks.
3.
Attach the lifting chain hooks to the lifting eyes in
counterweight. Raise the forks of the hoist truck
as necessary to remove (take up) slack in lifting
chains.
Be sure that forks of hoist truck are adjusted to remove
all slack in the lifting chains and pick up (support) the
weight of the counterweight before bolts are removed.
4.
Loosen and remove counterweight mounting
bolts. Refer to Counterweight Mounting for
locations.
Be sure to stand away from path of the counterweight as
it is being lifted and moved. Watch the lifting chains and
hooks for any unusual twisting or movement. Do not walk
or stand under the forks or injury to personnel could
result.
5.
Carefully lift counterweight from the truck.
