Safety instructions for attachments when transporting suspended load
WARNING
Swinging/Wide loads and a reduced residual
capacity can result in accidents
Adapt the travel speed to the load, less than
walking pace.
Secure swinging loads for example with lifting
slings.
Reduce the residual capacity and have it certified
by an expert.
Failure to follow the operation precautions may
cause early damage to parts.
Safety instructions for attachments when transporting wide loads
Load lateral center of gravity
Where it is necessary to lift a wide load where the
lateral load center of gravity is unknown.
Do a test lift first to determine lateral center of
gravity and potential movement with the load during
transport. Exercise extra caution when handling off-
center loads that cannot be centered.
Load Stability
Be careful when stopping or changing direction
suddenly, lifting or lowering suddenly as wide loads
could become unstable.
Load Swing
Be careful whilst travelling or turning, the load ends
will swing wide. Make sure you have adequate
clearance, and watch out for people in the area.
Load Shift
Be careful when turning, turn slowly to prevent load
from shifting.
Visibility
When carrying a bulky load which blocks or restricts
forward visibility the truck shall be driven with the load
trailing and if necessary, under the direction of a
person who has visibility in the direction of travel,
unless safe work practices allow otherwise
