Loading the platform
Each of our work platforms includes 2 means for securing the platform to a fork lift: 1) tine lock, AND 2) nylon safety
strap.
Step 1: Attac
h the platform to a fork truck:
Drive the fork truck forward until the mast guard contacts the back of (vertical part) the tines. For all WP models, make
sure that the tines extend through the front and rear fork pockets (see diagram below). Attach the platform to the fork
truck’s fork carriage with the securing chain, and capture the heel of the fork with the tine lock underneath the corner of
the platform as shown in the drawings below.
