SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
3121211 – JLG Lift – 4-19
Pickup Truck Loading Device (Option)
(See Figure 4-11.)
NOTE: The stowed mast height of the 36AM and 41AM exceeds
the length of most pick-up truck beds. JLG does not rec-
ommend transporting those models by pick-up truck.
AM model machines can be transported in a standard full size
pickup truck. If the machine is equipped with the loading device
option, it can be loaded and unloaded by one person.
NOTE: For a smooth rolling surface and even weight distribution,
it is recommended that 3/4" to 1" (2 to 2.5cm) thick ply-
wood be placed in the truck bed and out onto the tailgate.
This should avoid tailgate damage.
Park truck on a firm, smooth, level surface with the tailgate
open. Remove the battery/charger storage box from DC model
machines.
1. Set load pivot bar on back of mast so bar is set approx-
imately 1 - 2 in (3 to 5 cm) above tailgate height. Use
the spring loaded locking pin to raise or lower the load
pivot bar. Once bar is locked in place, push machine
against the tailgate.
2. At front of the machine, extend the T-handle lifting bar
from the base frame.
3. Begin lifting the machine onto the tailgate of the truck
with the T-handle lifting bar. As machine begins to
pivot be certain the load pivot bar is engaging the
truck tailgate.
4. Continue lifting and pushing machine onto the truck
bed, firmly grasp the machine by the base frame
pushing it all the way into truck bed.
5. Secure machine to the truck bed with rope or tie down
hooks to limit any machine movement while trans-
porting.
To unload machine from truck bed, reverse loading instructions
above.
