Heavy Duty Jib Cranes

What types of forklifts can heavy duty jibs attach to?
Easy Rack Heavy Duty Jibs can be used with industrial lift forklifts, rough terrain straight-mast, or extendable-reach forklifts. Heavy duty jibs attach to any forklift by inserting both forks fully into the fork pockets. The rear of the jib seats against the back of the fork, and a safety chain wraps around the forklift carriage to hold it in place.

Who many swivel hooks do Easy Rack forklifts have?
Each heavy duty jib has two swivel hooks. One hook is fixed at the end of the jib, and the other can be placed anywhere on the underside of the boom. This allows you to pick up any load with two hook points. Every hook is rated at 4000 lbs. on the mid-sized model and 6,000 lbs on the larger model. You can use one or both hooks to pick up the load but the total weight cannot exceed the rated capacity of the jib as shown on the load chart for that extended or retracted position.

What load capacities can heavy duty jibs handle?
Maximum load capacity for each model in the various extended or retracted positions range from 1935-6000 lbs. Ask a material handling specialist about your specific application. Please remember that load capacity ratings are for the heavy duty jib itself and not the forklift nor the maximum load that can be safely handled with a particular forklift. Whenever heavy duty jibs, or any other forklift attachments for that matter, are added to a lift truck, the weight of the attachment, the new center of gravity, will reduce the lift capacity of the forklift.

How do you calculate the load capacity of a forklift when a jib is attached?
Ideally, you should contact the forklift manufacturer for a load capacity chart. If you cannot obtain this, simple foot pound calculations can be made to estimate the reduced load capacities. To calculate, for instance, the load when using our mid-sized model at its maximum extension of 11’7”, simply deduct the 1850 foot lbs for the weight of your heavy duty jib (cg x weight of jib) from the 16000 ft lbs and then divide the remainder by the new load center, 11.6 feet which gives us 1221 lbs maximum lift capacity.

These sample calculations only approximate the reduced forklift capacity when using heavy duty jibs. They are based on a standard 24' forklift load center. The maximum load capacity for each hook position is shown under the forklift’s rated capacity for that fork position. Calculations have to be individual and precise. Again, if you do not have time to do all this calculation yourself, contact one of our experts.

Portable Docks

Exactly what are portable docks?
Portable docks are actually steel platforms that are designed for use with yard ramps. They are mostly used in rural or remote construction areas and in agricultural areas where produce is packaged in the field and shipped directly to market.

When were portable docks first used?
Portable docks were first used in the home building industry in upstate New York. Building crews needed a way to quickly unload rail cars and get materials and supplies to the construction site. To trim transportation expenses and save time, they began to lease real estate next to rail yards and section it off to create offloading zones for trucks. Portable docks, dock plates and yard ramps where then brought in to allow fork truck access to rail cars.

What are portable docks used for today?
Portable docks have since found their way into all sorts of on site applications in the construction industry. They also play a very important role in agriculture. Grocers no longer wish to ship produce to packaging facilities because of high fuel costs. It is much more economical to box or palletize produce in the field and load it onto rail cars and refrigerator trucks via portable docks.

Portable docks have also become very popular with companies who are leasing a warehouse or a factory that they are beginning to outgrow. These companies often must either pour concrete to add new dock space, use loading ramps or install portable docks. While the cost of either option may in many cases be equivalent to the other (depending upon the amount of dock space needed and the number of platforms necessary to create it), organizations that invest in portable docks can get a return on their investment by reselling them, or they can keep them and move them to new facilities as they expand.

Can a single platform be used as a portable dock?
Yes, a portable dock can function as a standalone steel platform. However, is much more common to connect several units together and create the equivalent of a concrete dock. The exception to this is rail yards with limited space. In many such environments, fork trucks have to run parallel to rail cars and do not have enough room to turn from the yard ramp into the car. In these instances, a single portable dock at the end of the yard ramp can allow a forklift to make a safe 90 degree turn.

Can portable docks be customized?
Absolutely. Steel platform docks are custom built to the exact height needed by the client. They can be made with either fixed legs or adjustable legs on one or both sides. These units are usually connected together to create a large, outdoor, solid platform. For example, if a client wants a 16X32 dock, 4 or 5 edge of docks mounted, and a yard ramp, we will ship 8 portable docks with a splice plate that overlays the units and creates a single, solid surface.

What all does Easy Rack sell other than loading dock equipment?

Heavy Construction Equipment

Easy Rack knows customization is the key to safety, ergonomics, and success. There are so many different types of applications for heavy construction that the need to specialize and customize fork trucks, masonry tools, and skid-steers almost always presents itself on the job site.

Forklift Accessories
Forklifts attachments are OSHA compliant heavy construction equipment that turns forklifts into loading platforms. Standard safety platforms enable the forklift to reach over obstructions too high for scissor lifts and other heavy construction equipment. They provide much wider platforms than boom lifts, and they can be lifted more rapidly than scaffolding.

Skid-Steer Loading Products
These products let you customize your loading into a specialized piece of heavy construction equipment. Scoop and mix concrete mixers allow you to scoop up sand and gravel in the bucket position, then rotate for in-place concrete mixing. Hoppers are designed to clear debris from construction sites and landscaping projects. Root grapples and grapple buckets help landscaping crews to clear and prepare properties for a new look.

Masonry Construction Equipment
Easy Rack Masonry Equipment for Heavy Construction saves time and money for the time. Tools such as Mortar Buggies are an excellent way to move mortar into areas that cannot be accessed by forklifts. Brick Carts and Block Carts often save companies as much as 80% on labor cost to move brick and block. Nesting Forklift Mortar Tubs are easily to move, and they can be stacked stored with your forklift.

Heavy Construction Equipment Forks
You can equip your forklift or your skid-steer with many types of forks. Forks get damaged to the point that they need to be replaced. Easy Rack carries replacement forks in brick, block and general purpose styles. Each style is specially designed for the designated purposes. Over the bucket forks allow you to use your skid steer vehicle like a forklift. Another add on for your skid-steer is the fork frame attachment with bright red fork tips clearly visible for safety reasons, and a heavy duty tapered backstop that keeps the forks from swinging when picking up very heavy or odd sized loads.

Tow/Load/Haul
Heavy construction equipment often has to be moved by an individual worker. In order to make this as ergonomic as possible, special tow, load, and hauling tools are strongly recommended, especially when moving heavy construction equipment that is bulky or manufactured with disproportionate dimensions. Load and tows reduce customer wait time, cut labor cost by helping workers get the job done in less time with little or no need for overtime, prevent back injury, and reduce damage to equipment. Ramps and steel loaded pins allow for easy and safe transportation via fork truck.

Easy Rack is your "One Stop Shop" for all types of forklift equipment and heavy duty construction equipment.

Rail Boards

What is the difference between rail boards and dock boards?
Rail boards are dock boards that have been specifically designed for rail car loading and unloading. Rail car to dock is a highly specialized application that requires its own type of dockboard. Units can range anywhere from 22K lobs on up to 40K, 60K, or even 90K.

Are your rail boards ANSI certified?
Yes. Our rail boards models are the only ANSI certified railboards on the market. They are made with special lift equipment and attachments, and they are designed with shift usage and transit cycles in mind.

What type of boxcars can rail boards be used for?
Easy Rack railboards are intended for use on all types of railway boxcars as loading ramps. Each board features an all-welded steel construction that provides a sure and reliable platform for fork truck access. Rectangular and flared design models can be ordered through your material handling account manager. Additional reinforcement for every unit is ensured by a box under structure which grounds the unit in position and increases safety. Box under structure bumpers also fit around the car latches to protect the door latch.

Each rail board comes with a heavy duty drop ring that allows it to be lowered via forklift into position. Each unit features a locking ring design that secures it to the dock, and lifting loops fold flat into recessed pockets.

What are your standard dimensions and capacities?
Due to the highly specialized nature of rail boards and yard ramps, it is necessary to custom build them around the dimensions of the railcar. The boardʼs size, features, and capacity will be differ according to whether or not it is a box car, refrigerator car, all door car, flat car, or plug door car. Your material handling specialist will also need a minimum of two X dimension measurements from the inside of the rail to the dock face to order your board. Measurements should exclude any projections, and every measurement should be taken 20' away from the center of the dock board position.

It is critical to provide dimensions for each location in which the dock board will be used. If the board is used along a long, open dock, provide X dimensions at 20' increments as well. Next, make line level and string measurement of at least Y dimension measurement from the top of the rail to the top of the dock for each rail board location.

A few pieces of data can be gathered by answering a series of simple yes/no questions and by taking some basic measurements prior to placing a call. Having this information ready will enable our manufacturing facility to ensure that the dockboard has the proper width, length, bends, capacity, and understructure for maximum performance and safety.

Pallet Lifters

Hydraulic Pallet Lifts are intended to assist during construction work, ship loading, unpaved storage areas, open-top trucks and even barges. Some pallet lifters use forks that slide underneath pallets, allowing you to lift and move it from workstation to workstation. Manual pallet lifts such as this unit feature solid steel construction tapered forks to allow easy access under pallets. The unitʼs main support contains handles that allow personnel to easily steer and control the unit. The large, square head at the top of the unit acts as a counterweight that keeps the unit level without a load. The manual unit meets ASME B30.20 Standard 1993. A certificate is shipped out with every unit stating that it has been tested.

Other pallet lifters use electronic motors to elevate, rotate, and tilt pallets for precise maneuvering and safe rapid transport. Easy Rack offers three models from which you can choose.

Low Profile "U" Type Electric Pallet Lift Table
The open center on the "U" Type Electric Pallet Lifter Tables allows a pallet truck to place a load on the platform. This ergonomic lift equipment features an external power pack equipped with a pressure relief valve that prevents overloading. It also has a flow control valve that controls the lowering speed. A remote power pack, complete with a steel cover, protects the motor from dust and debris. You can raise and lower the pallet lifting table with UP and DOWN push-buttons on the 24V control box. Safety features include electric toe guards, velocity fuse in cylinders, safety maintenance props and an emergency stop button on the control box.

Note: The power lifting table can only be used with skids or open bottom containers when being loaded with a pallet jack. The opening in the deck is 21 7/8"W x 41 1/4"L, so the pallet truck needs to be 20"W or less for this table to work. Standard closed bottom pallets would need to be loaded with a fork lift or straddle type lifter.

Portable Pallet Lifter and Inverter
Rotate and transfer pallets with Easy Rackʼs Portable Pallet Lifter and Inverter. This convenient, easy to use pallet lift is a must have in your shop, loading dock, or warehouse. When using the PPLI, simply place the unitʼs lower forks underneath the bottom pallet, lower the top forks to secure the palletʼs inner contents, and lift the pallet up 90 degrees. At this point, operators can manually rotate the load 180 degrees where it will stop and latch into place automatically. This will bring the top pallet into the lower position, effectively inverting your load. Tilt the load down, and itʼs ready for transport, or to be lowered to the ground. Because the PPLI utilizes outriggers, only open bottom pallets and skids are compatible with the design.

The dc power lift and drive makes operations safe and efficient, and the units built in battery charger provide maximum convenience. Standard features on the Easy Rack Pallet Lift and Inverter include a key operated, on/off switch, forward and reverse butterfly controls, and easy to use hand controls for the lift and tilt function. The portable pallet lift also features chrome plated cylinders, steel outriggers, and an emergency stop belly switch for added safety. The unitʼs low-profile design allows the operator to stand on the rider platform and steer the load from workstation to workstation quickly and easily Convenient and efficient, Easy Rackʼs pallet inverter is ideal for use in loading dock areas, and warehouses as a power pallet truck, power tilter, or turntable. Let this sturdy innovative unit go to work for you.

Easy Rack Pallet Inverter
This pallet lifter has been engineered to reduce your costs in production, storage, retrieval and distribution. Its 180° rotation makes pallet exchange quick and simple while reducing product damage. It enables easy load transfer from wood pallet to plastic pallet, slip sheet or rental pallet. It is ideal for loading and unloading with a fork truck.

Loading Dock Lifts

Loading Dock Lifts
Scissor Table loading dock lifts will help to reduce man-hours and improve safety when a facility lacks a loading dock. A lift controlled by hydraulic cylinders raises materials to the truck. Easy Rack loading dock lifts are engineered for optimal safety, help reduce the risk of injuries, and greatly improve time to market efficiency. Every unit features user-friendly controls in the form of a push button, 24V AC on a 20 foot long coil cord. A pre-wired control box includes a magnetic starter and overload fuse, and an emergency velocity fuse stops momentum in the event of a line break.

Loading dock lifts also have high visibility, removable handrails with fixed toe boards. The checkered deck plate on each unit is manufactured from heavy gauge steel and is intended to last for years. The perimeter of the platform is surrounded by beveled toe-guards and electric toe-guards to prevent slips and falls. The electric toe-guard is a patented device essential to the safety of personnel. It is made from L-shaped aluminum extrusion and hangs below the entire perimeter of the deck. This is important, because if the loading dock lift is being lowered when a worker’s hand or foot crosses its path, the guard will be triggered and the scissor table will automatically stop. When the object is removed, the lift table once again begins to move. It is not necessary to reset the unit to resume operation.

Toe-guard provisions are standard OSHA and ANSI safety measures present on a variety of platforms. They built into the scissor table loading dock lift for compliance protocol. The unit is also semi-portable, and can be operated up to 8 feet away from the 6.5 HP motor that drives it.

Easy Rack offers a number of premium scissor table loading dock lift options that can be requested at the time of your order. These options customize the unit to specific requirements and tasks, and they can be obtained through your Easy Rack Specialist at no additional cost.

Premium Truck Scissor Dock Lift Options

What is a loading dock leveler do and how does it work?
A loading dock leveler is an important tool used by just about any material handling company that utilizes a grade level loading dock. Loading dock levelers are basically steel or aluminum ramps that hydraulically or manually to allow trucks of all sizes to safely load and unload by proving a bridge between the dock and the truck. Special conversion kits for dock levelers provide even more flexibility.

Face it, trucks come in all sizes and the height of their trailers can vary tremendously depending on the type of load. A loading dock leveler from Easy Rack uses a hydraulic ram to raise a platform in order to meet with the level of the truck in order to provide a smooth transition from one surface to another as you load materials..

How do you operate a loading dock leveling device?
The operation of a loading dock leveler is simple and requires only a single button to set up or hydraulic hand pump. The operator simply presses the button to raise the ramp to its maximum height at which point a lip extends to bridge the gap between the deck platform and the truck. The leveler then descends to rest on the load bed to provide a smooth transition that will allow your staff to roll goods on and off the truck easily.

How do I go about selecting a loading dock leveler with so many choices?
