Mini-Crawler Crane M A E D A Section 4 – TRANSPORTATION
1/2019 MC405C-3 4-173
• When loading or unloading, set the engine
rotation to low idling (low speed rotation) and
operate slowly by low speed travels.
• Use the ramps that have fully strong width,
length and thickness, and that enable safe
loading/unloading.
Reinforce with blocks or other substances if the
ramps deflect much.
• Remove the mud and other substances from
the footing to prevent the machine from
skidding over the ramps. Remove the
substances stuck the ramps such as grease, oil
or ice, and keep clean.
Be especially careful in the rainy days where
slips easily occur.
• Do not change direction over a ramp.
Temporarily leave the ramp before correcting
the direction.
• Be slow when operating to change the direction
on the truck platform where the footing is
unstable.
• After loading the machine, apply the wood
blocks so that the machine does not move, and
securely fix with wire ropes or other means.
For more information, see "Loading/Unloading"
on page 4-174, and "Cautions on Loading
Machine" on page 4-176.

brackets (1) (for instance shackles) to the
outrigger rotary holes (four), and hang the wire
ropes (2) (four) on the hook (3).
