• Tipping over the load wheels or drive wheels
• Tipping the truck at right angles to the drive
direction
• Risk of crushing of guide persons
• Reduced visibility
DANGER
Loss of stability due to slipped, unstable or, in
particular, hanging loads!
The following information should be noted when
transporting hanging loads:
• Swinging of the load is to be prevented by
using the proper driving speed and driving
manner (careful steering, braking).
• Hanging loads must be coupled to the truck
in such a way that the harness cannot shift
or release unintentionally, and cannot be
damaged.
• Take particular care to ensure that there is
no one in the drive direction in the driving
lane.
• Ensure that swinging loads do not put
people at risk.
• When transporting hanging loads, suitable
devices (e.g. guy wires or hand rails) must
be made available and used by guide
persons.
