A method of mounting an attachment (100) on an arm (22) of a material handling machine including the steps of:
(a) providing an arm (22) including a first plate (64), a second plate (66) and a pair of side walls (62) welded to each of the first plate (64) and the second plate (66), the arm having a connector (30) for pivotable mounting of the attachment at a first end of the arm and a connector (28) for pivotable mounting to a further component of the material handling machine at a second end of the arm opposite to the first end; wherein the second plate has two opposite edges (66A, 66C) and a first of the pair of side walls is welded inward of one edge and a second of the pair of side walls is welded inward of the other edge to form two flanges (72, 74) , each of the two flanges extending on opposite sides of the second plate and each of the two flanges having at least one hole at each of its ends;
(b) providing a bracket (108) including a mounting plate (110) having a pair of lugs (112A, 112B) for supporting an actuator (106) for the attachment; the pair of lugs being positioned in a central portion of the mounting plate; and the mounting plate having at least one hole adjacent to each of its corners;
(c) aligning the holes of the mounting plate with the holes on each of the pair of flanges;
(d) securing the bracket on the arm by securing the mounting plate to each of the pair of the flanges by passing a fastener through each hole of the mounting plate and the corresponding hole on each of the pair of flanges;
(e) mounting the actuator for the attachment on the pair of lugs;
(f) mounting the attachment on the connector at the first end of the arm; and
(g) connecting the actuator to the attachment. |
