OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
7.14 TRANSPORTATION AND
LIFTING
The mobile elevating work platform is a non-road ve-
hicle and is not licensed for on-road use, so this ma-
chine needs to be transported and transferred by road,
railway, waterway, etc.
Only qualified professionals can drive the
machine onto or from the transport vehicle.
Before transporting and lifting the machine:
1. Find out the total weight of the machine (see ma-
chine nameplate or Technical Parameters section
of this manual) and select appropriate lifting equip-
ment, rigging and transport vehicle.
2. Make sure the boom is stowed, that the turntable is
locked (if equipped with a rotation pin, that the rota-
tion pin is locked), that there are no loose or unfixed
parts on the machine, and that there are no people
or any tools on the platform.

ble cannot rotate
3. Ensure that the machine lifting points/rigging lashing
points and their attached structures are intact and
that the belt or rope to be used has sufficient load
strength.
4. Before loading/unloading the machine, ensure that
the transport vehicle is parked on level ground and
that the ramp used when driving the machine onto
the trailer does not exceed the maximum climbing
angle of the machine.
5. When loading/unloading the machine, the transport
vehicle must be secured to prevent it from moving.
6. The wheels should be locked after the machine is
loaded to prevent the machine from moving.
7. Before releasing the brake, the machine must be
parked on a horizontal surface or secured.
8. The machine can only be lifted from the specific po-
sition with a forklift or crane with sufficient lifting ca-
pacity. Care should be taken to prevent the machine
from colliding with surrounding objects.
Transportation
1. Adjust the machine to the transport position.
2. Turn the key switch on the ground controller to OFF
position and remove the key.
3. Firmly secure the chassis on the transport vehicle
and take appropriate safety protection measures.
Use at least 4 ropes or belts to secure the chassis
and at least 1 rope or belt to secure the platform.
4. Adjust the rigging appropriately to prevent damage
to the rope or belt.
5. To protect the boom, platform components and elec-
trical and hydraulic components, do not apply ex-
cessive downward pulling force to the ropes or belts
used to secure the platform. A foam layer can be
placed under the platform and the bottom of the
platform should be suspended.
