FIGURE 3.
full elevation allows this type of machine to stay farther away from the landing area and still off load the forks. Note: "Transverse" allows a machine to land a load at maximum lifting height.
FIGURE 2 (LEFT)-LANDING THE LOAD: (1) the maximum lifting height is not the same as the maximum landing height-a machine's capacity changes when the load is moved 4' forward to landing height, (2) in order to remove the forks from the load, the load must be placed at least 4' in front of the maximum lifting height-in order to go forward the 4', the load must be lowered below maximum lifting height; (3) double check the machine's capacity 4' in front of maximum lifting height-be sure to note the distance in front of the front wheels when checking the capacity at maximum landing height.
