EASY LIFT EQUIPMENT
EAGLE GRIP 4™ SERIES ATTACHMENTS
INTRODUCTION
The Eagle-Grip™ 4 series of lift truck attachments utilize a heavy duty double automatic
clamping mechanism for handling any size steel or plastic chimed drum. The fork pockets and
safety chain provide a quick and easy connection to any lift truck. The specification plate affixed
to each attachment provides the following information: model number, serial number, attachment
weight, and lifting capacity.
Please verify with your local forklift dealer that your lift truck,
counter-balanced walkie stacker, or walkie straddle stacker is certified and tagged
properly for this attachment
.
This manual contains information to instruct you on the proper use and maintenance of your
Easy Lift Equipment unit. This manual should be available to all personnel working with the
machine. Follow the maintenance procedures carefully to ensure a safe and reliable service life.
Do not operate your equipment until you have read and understood these instructions.
COMISSIONING YOUR EAGLE GRIP 4 SERIES ATTACHMENT
1. Remove all packing materials, protective strapping, and wood shipping blocks.
2. Perform a visual inspection of the entire unit for damage.
3. Perform any necessary assembly based on the assembly diagrams located in this manual.
4. Drive the lift truck to position the forks inside the attachment.
5. Secure the attachment to the lift truck by connecting the safety chain to the forklift
carriage. The end of the chain is equipped with a snap hook, so generally the chain is
looped around the carriage and the snap hook is connected to the chain to form a loop.
6. The carriage mount version of this attachment will attach directly to any lift truck with an
ITA Class II carriage. Lower the lift truck carriage close to the ground. Pull up the
locking pin on the top rail of the attachment. Hook the top rail of the attachment over the
top rail of the carriage. Slide the attachment so the cleat on the lower rail can pass
through the cutout on the lower carriage rail and seat. Slide the attachment to the desired
location along the rail. Push the locking pin back down to ensure the attachment is
mounted securely to the lift truck carriage.
