3.4 Features and devices
3.4-1 Lowered travel position and
elevated travel position
The available MEWP functions depend on these
factors:
▪
MEWP conguration (lowered travel position/
elevated travel position)
▪
Chassis angle
▪
Platform load
The MEWP is in the lowered travel position when the
platform is below height “A” (refer to Figure 01).
The MEWP is in the elevated travel position when the
