WARNING: Rated capacity of the
truck/attachment combination is a
responsibility of the original truck
manufacturer and may be less than
shown on the attachment nameplate.
Consult the truck nameplate.
WARNING: Do not operate this
attachment unless you are a trained
and authorized lift truck driver.
CAUTION: This guide shows load handling
procedures for most products. Ask your company
or organization about any special procedures for the
loads you may be handling.

CONTENTS
Cascade H-Series Tire Handlers are attachments for
handling all types of tire products. These attachments
are designed for both bilge and vertical load handling
for transport, stacking, breakout, van trailer, boxcar and
ship loading and unloading. Attachments can rotate
through 360 degrees and can have a fixed short arm or
split long arm. Tower clamp versions provide bulk load
handling in many configurations.
About this Guide – The information in this Guide is
intended to simplify operator understanding about
effective and safe Tire Handler use and operation.
Read this guide thoroughly before operating the
attachment. Be sure you know and understand all
operating procedures and safety precautions. If you
have any questions, or don’t understand a procedure,
ask your supervisor.
Emphasize Safety! Most accidents are caused by
operator carelessness or misjudgment. You must
watch for poorly maintained equipment and hazardous
situations and correct them.

SAFETY RULES
Handling Loads: Load must be secure prior to lifting and transporting.
RC0721.eps
Split-Arm Clamp is recommended to handle
two loads (see Handling Basics). Handling two
loads with Single-Arm Clamp may be dangerous
and lead to serious injury.
Limit truck movement
with raised load.
Limit swinging clamp
with raised load. LOAD
WEIGHT
Load weight must not exceed combined truck/
attachment capacity (see truck nameplate).
Make sure load
is centered and
secure prior
to lifting and
traveling.
Check for load
slippage (see Load
Troubleshooting).
Use caution when
handling unitized
(wrapped) multiple
stacked loads with
Single-Arm Clamp.
Make sure bottom load is secure.
Center of
Rotation
Lateral Offset
Position the load center
of gravity as close as
possible to the center
of rotation to minimize
lateral offset.

Check items each day. Report problems to your
supervisor. Check clamp force prior to each operational
shift. See Service Manual for troubleshooting,
maintenance and repair procedures.

recommended practices. Failure
to follow these practices may lead
to serious bodily injury or property
damage. End user, dealer and OEMs
should review any deviation from the
practices for safe operation.

The following identification decal (located on the baseplate), shows how the split-arm clamp functions:
OR
Clamp force is developed without the
need for the top arm to fully close.
The top arm must fully close before
clamp pressure is developed.
