8 4 OPERATION

The operation ofa

Crane is
important aspect because the
a
very
smooth
functioning and trouble free operation
depends on the
and practice ofthe
Crane operator The knowledge skill
yard stick of
operator is the smoothness with
which the various
identifying a good
Crane are to be carried movements of the

8 5 CONCLUSION

The Hydraulic Pump actuates the Cylinders which operates the Fork and
the tilting of the vertical frame The Frame can be tilted forward by 3 to
5 degrees for simplifying the load gripping and can be tilted backward
by
o
10 The nonnal speed ofthe Fork Lift Truck is 7 5 kmhr when there
is no load and can be 6 5 kmIhr when loaded The maximum possible lift
ofthe Fork is nonnally 2 75 m and the weight carrying capacity is nonnally
restricted to within 2 5 to 3 tonnes

The operation ofthe Fork Lift is very simple and the driver shallbe familiar
with the normal procedures including tbe steering mechanism

The DOnna maintenance procedures applicable to Hydraulic system

Chain Sprocket system are applicable for Fork Lift also
