smiths hire FM180A Hydraulic Furniture Mover
Model: FM180
Application
The manual furniture mover has been developed for lifting and transporting cabinets and other large regular objects. Its supports are covered with foam rubber to prevent the goods being transported from damage. The hydraulic furniture mover consists of two units, which allows rectangular objects of varying length to be moved using a minimum of space. Due to the weight of the cabinet on the platform, it will hold itself in position when the units are standing vertically and the frame of the platform is in contact with its sides. The securing strap, which has to be fastened correctly on both sides, is an additional absolute necessity.
Specifications
Model | Capacity | Lifting Height | Lifting Plate Size | Net Weight |
---|---|---|---|---|
FM180A | 1800kg | 100mm | – | 82kg |
FM180B | 1800kg | 250mm | – | 86kg |
Assembly
- Remove the fork pin at the free end of the track rod.
- Set the steering handles parallel to each other.
- Push the fork of the track rod over the arm of the steering handle.
- Replace the previously-removed fork pin through the fork and arm and secure it with a split ring.
- Assemble the second unit in the same way.
Precautions and Preparation:
- The floor must be absolutely level, smooth, and clean. There must be no inclines or slopes to be moved over. Make sure that the floor and the floor covering are to stand up to the loading imposed by the weight of the furniture being transported.
- Check whether the cabinet or furniture to be transported contains any loose objects. These will have to be removed, or secured against slopping out of position.
- Check whether the furniture is strong enough for the two opposite sides to take the weight of the piece via the transport units’ platforms, and whether the upper supports of the transport units can hold the furniture to be transport without damaging it.
- Find the weight of the furniture to be transported. The maximum load of 1800 kg/pair =900 kg for each unit must not be exceeded.
- Never use this equipment for towing by a vehicle.
Operation:
- Before using, check the transport components for function and any damage. If there are visible defects, do not use the components. Damaged parts must be replaced.
- Since the hydraulic furniture mover consists of two parts, it is necessary for two persons to operate them.
NOTE: Owner/Operator must read and understand this instruction manual
before using the mover.

Application of the product
The manual furniture mover has been developed for lifting and transporting cabinets and other large regular objects. For this reason, its supports are covered with foam rubber to prevent the goods being transported from damage. Since the hydraulic furniture mover consists of two units, rectangular objects of varying length can be moved using a minimum of space. Due to the weight of the cabinet on the platform, it will hold itself in position when the units are standing vertically and the frame of the platform is in contact with its sides. The securing strap, which has to be fastened correctly on both sides, is an additional absolute necessity. The steering handles have a full lock of 180°, it means that goods can be transported in every direction. The platforms are raised by operating the lever of the pump; this lever must not be used for pulling or pushing the BIMOBIL. The platform is lowered by twisting the manual release valve of the compact hydraulic system anti-clockwise. Great care must be taken when lowering the platform, since the speed depends on the aperture of the valve as well as the weight of the goods to be transported. Before pumping up the system to raise the platforms the valve must be twisted clockwise and make sure it is closed. If you operate properly, our hydraulic furniture mover will help you to move cabinets, furniture etc quickly and safely.

Assembly of the Hydraulic Furniture Mover
Remove the fork pin at the free end of the track rod, set the steering handles parallel to each other, and push the fork of the track rod over the arm of the steering handle. Then replace the previously- removed fork pin through the fork and arm and secure it with split ring. The second unit is assembled in the same way.
Instructions and Preparation
- The floor must be absolutely level, smooth and clean. There must be no inclines or slopes to be moved over. Make sure that the floor and the floor covering are to stand up to the loading imposed by the weight of the furniture being transported.
- Check whether the cabinet or furniture to be transported contains any loose objects. These will have to be removed, or secured against slopping out of position.
- Check whether the furniture is strong enough for the two opposite sides to take the weight of the piece via the transport units’ platforms, and whether the upper supports of the transport units can hold the furniture to be transport without damaging it.
- Find the weight of the furniture to be transported. The maximum load of 1800 kg/pair =900 kg for each unit must not be exceeded.
- Find the center of gravity of the furniture to be transported. Along the furniture base, it is the decisive for the load that a single transport unit can bear, across the base, for the center of the transport unit, and, in connection with the height, for the moment of tilting that occurs when moving the furniture. When in use, the height of the center of gravity must not exceed 0.8m. The distance of the transport units to one another must not be less than 0.5m and no more than 4.0m (furniture of the securing straps).
- Never use this equipment for towing by a vehicle.
Hydraulic Furniture Mover Operation
Before using, the transport components should be checked for function, and for
any damage. If there are visible defects, the components should not be used.
Damaged parts must be replaced. Since the hydraulic furniture mover consists
of two parts, it is necessary for two persons to operate them.
Before transporting cabinets, the platforms should be lowered to the floor
until the transport units are standing vertically. Push the platform of the
units under the side faces (narrow faces) of the cabinet until the top and
bottom of the transport platform frame are resting against it. The centers of
the platform must be beneath the center of gravity of the cabinet. Place the
securing straps in position and tighten them. The straps will connect both
units and, when used correctly, prevent them from slipping out of their
position. Here, the strap ends must be under direct tension, that is, the
straps must not be pulling round the edge of a cabinet, etc. If necessary, an
additional strap surrounding it must be employed. This must be fed through the
strap loops on the units. However, the maximum overhang must not be more than
200 mm. Pump up the platform about 1 cm, and carefully check whether the
cabinet to be transported is standing stably on the platforms. Maybe some
adjustment should be done. Both platforms must be raised at the same time and
to the same amount. For the transport itself, the height off the floor must be
a maximum of 2 cm only. When moving the cabinets, only push the transport
units and choose the way to the cabinet’s new position so that, if possible,
it is only moved lengthwise. When moving cabinets sideways, always take the
greatest care; there is a great risk of the cabinets tilting over. The cabinet
being transport must not be left unattended standing on the equipment; it must
always be lowered onto the floor. The securing straps may only be opened when
the cabinet being transported, or the platforms, is standing on the floor.
Never use this equipment for towing by a vehicle.
Care and Maintenance
Our hydraulic furniture mover only requires little care and maintenance, but this must be carried out regularly. Depending on its use, the spindles and gear wheels must be re-greased weekly or monthly.
