Truck Lifting by crane
Improper lifting by crane can
result in accidents. The use of
unsuitable lifting gear can cause
the truck to crash when being
lifted by crane.
Prevent the truck from
striking other objects when
they are being raised, and
avoid any uncontrolled
movement. If necessary
secure the truck with guide
ropes.
The truck should only be
handled by people who are
trained in using lifting slings and tools.
Wear safety shoes when lifting the truck by crane.
Do not stand under a swaying load.
Do not walk into or stand in a hazardous area.
Always use lifting gear with sufficient capacity (for truck
weight see truck data plate).
Always attach the crane slings to the prescribed strap
points and prevent them from slipping.
Use the lifting gear only in the prescribed load direction.
Trucks with a weather enclosure must only be loaded by
crane using a cross member.
Crane slings should be fastened in such a way that they
do not come into contact with any attachments when lift-
ing.
