1) QUALITY POLICY STATEMENT
East West Engineering is an Australian Owned company in the Sydney suburb of
Brookvale. We are Australia’s leading manufacturer of forklift attachments, storage, waste
containers and environmental protection equipment.
East West Engineering’s products are a result of extensive market research into our
customer’s needs. From the first concept to engineering certification and finally, CAD/CAM
manufacturing, all our designs have been rigorously researched and developed.
2) GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT
The type CKM05, CKM10 and CKM15 Concrete Kibbles are suitable for bottom dumping
or side discharge (through the chute provided), of concrete or equivalent material. The
handle positioning each side of the kibble for right or left hand operation allows an
unobstructed view by the Operator of the material pour. The chute is adjustable from its
“Storage Position” to a pouring position 40below horizontal. The gate has been designed
for a close fit around the kibble aperture. Forklift pockets have been provided for transport
about the work site with or without load. The interior of the kibble has a smooth surface
allowing for easy discharge and quick cleaning.
The type CKM05 Concrete Kibble has a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1500kg and a unit
weight of 275kg with a capacity for 0.5 cubic metres of material. The type CKM10 Concrete
Kibble has a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 3000kg and a unit weight of 320kg with a
capacity for 1.0 cubic metre of material. The type CKM15 Concrete Kibble has a Working
Load Limit (WLL) of 4000kg and a unit weight of 415kg with a capacity for 1.5 cubic
metres of material. A painted enamel finish is standard on both types.
Design of type CKM05, CKM10 & CKM15 Concrete Kibble attachments
1
are in accordance
with AS 2550.1 and AS 1418 where relevant. Use of the type CKM05, CKM10 & CKM15
Concrete Kibbles are restricted to the purpose for which they are designed. EAST WEST
ENGINEERING is not liable if this restriction is breached.
Some attachments are manufactured as “Specials” from this standard product. In this
situation, design changes may alter the operating procedures for the Special attachment.
If your product type begins with the prefix “J”, it will be a Special. Please check with East
West Engineering for non-standard instructions specific for your attachment.
Note: The use of the words ‘Forklift’ & ‘Industrial Truck’ throughout these instructions
both refer to ‘Powered Industrial Truck’ as defined in AS 2359.1.

Crane attachments cover the following Crane, Hoists and Winches. Bridge, Gantry and Portal cranes, Tower
static and mobile Cranes. Hoists of the Chain, Cylinder, Scaffolding and Wire rope types. Winches of the
Creeper, Drum, and Trolley type.

Type Data
To accurately identify the Concrete Kibble and when ordering parts, please quote the Type
and Serial Number. This information can be found on the compliance plate situated on the
Kibble. Please refer Fig 8.1 and Table 8.2, codes “A” and “B” for more information.
WARNING: These Instructions MUST be READ in
FULL by the Crane/Forklift Operator & all Crane
Personnel and all Operational & Safety Procedures
and Risk Control Measures complied with before the
use of this Attachment.
3) METHOD OF ATTACHMENT
Forklift attachment procedure
Before handling the Concrete Kibble with a Forklift, ensure that the fork arms are suited to
the attachment and set to a width that ensure stability of the load.
Fig. 3.1 (type CK10 shown)
To ensure the Concrete Kibble stays on the fork tines when elevated, always back tilt the
Forklift mast. Before lifting the Concrete Kibble, ensure the Chute is secured in its
storage/upright position by engaging the attached Anchor Chains into the chain hooks
provided.
Crane attachment procedure
A qualified person shall operate the crane and the Concrete Kibble shall be hoisted in a safe
manner.
Engage the Crane Lift Hook through the Lifting Eye at the top of the Lifting Bar as shown
in Fig. 3.2 below.

When hoisting the Concrete Kibble by a crane, ensure the Crane Lifting Hook is correctly
fitted to the Lifting Bar and is free to slide within the Lifting Eye at the top of the Lifting
Bar when hoisted.
Fig. 3.2 (type CKM10 shown)
If a single fall rope is used to hoist the Concrete Kibble, the hook may spin and create a
dangerous situation. Do not allow the crane hook to rest on or inside the Concrete Kibble.
Keep the Kibble in an upright position at all times.
4) OPERATIONAL AND SAFETY PROCEDURES
Preliminary Safety Checks
A “Competent Person” shall inspect all components on the Concrete Kibble and Crane to
ensure they are in safe working order. Do not use the Concrete kibble if any of the
components are damaged or not in safe working condition. A “Competent Person” shall
inspect the lifting slings, lifting bar, Gate and Handle mechanisms, Chute and chains daily to
ensure that they are in safe working order.
The Operator shall check that the Concrete Kibble has been correctly fitted in accordance
with these Instructions (refer Section 3), and/or the relevant Crane or Industrial Truck
Operator’s Manual depending on the operation to be carried out.
All signage must be strictly adhered to and checked to ensure that the compliance plate is
not damaged and is legible.
General Operating and Safety Procedures
The use of the Concrete Kibble shall be limited to those situations for which it is specifically
designed and in accordance with AS 2550.1. All lifting equipment used must meet the
relevant Australian Standards including AS 3990.1, AS 3775 and AS 3776.

All operating checks as stated in Section (5) below and as stated in AS 2550.1 and/or AS
2359.2 are to be carried out at the start of shifts or immediately prior to the lifting of loads.
Forklift attachments can alter load centres and reduce the load capacity. The type of load to
be handled in addition to the operating conditions must be considered when determining the
actual working capacity for each application.
Do not exceed the recommended Crane, Forklift or Concrete Kibble rating.
WARNING: Any WLL noted on the Concrete Kibble
is a structural rating of the attachment only and makes
no claim to the suitability of the Crane/Forklift.
Actual load may be restricted to the suitability of the
Crane/Forklift. Actual rated working load of the
Crane must be obtained from the Crane manufacturer.
Actual Forklift capacities must be obtained from the
Forklift manufacturer.
Before the Concrete Kibble elevates any load, the Operator shall lift it to the required
working height to confirm that all systems function correctly.
Ensure all Risk Control Measures, as outlined in Section (5) and detailed in Appendix A, are
complied with before hoisting the Concrete Kibble by Crane or before lifting the Kibble
using an Industrial Truck.
East West Engineering Concrete Kibbles shall not be modified in any way which affects the
operation or performance except with the prior approval of East West Engineering. After
any changes have been effected, appropriate alterations shall be made on the relevant
nameplate and markings prior to placing the Concrete Kibble back into service. East West
Engineering must be notified of the changes to nameplates and markings with reference to
the Concrete Kibble serial number.
Operating Instructions
The Concrete Kibble shall normally be operated and have its movements directed by a
competent person with a ‘WorkSafe’ Dogging or Rigging Certificate.
Before loading any material into the Concrete Kibble, ensure the Discharge Gate is fully
closed. When using the Kibble for “bottom dumping” (ie. without use of the Chute), ensure
the Chute has been secured in its storage/upright position (refer Fig. 3.1 above) and the
Kibble is directly over the dumping site before opening the Discharge Gate.
When using the Chute, ensure it is anchored into position, angled downwards to allow free
flow with the outer end directly over the dumping site before opening the Discharge Gate.
To open the Discharge Gate, pull the Kibble Handle downwards always closing the Gate by
the reverse action, when enough material has been poured. Flow control of the material is
achieved by the amount the Discharge Gate is opened.
