Transport of swinging loads
Contact your national regulatory authorities
(trade associations in Germany) prior to trans-
porting swinging loads.
National regulations may place restrictions on
these operations. Please contact the authority
responsible.
DANGER
Swinging loads can result in the following risks:
• Reduced braking and steering action,
• Tipping over the wheels or drive wheels,
• Tipping of the truck transverse to the direc-
tion of travel,
• Risk of crushing of guide persons,
• Reduced visibility.
DANGER
Loss of stability due to slipped, unstable or, in parti-
cular, 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 can only be coupled to the
industrial truck so that the load-securing de-
vice cannot shift or release unintentionally
and cannot be damaged.
• Ensure that there are no persons in the
direction of travel in the driving lane.
• Ensure that swinging loads do not put per-
sons at risk.
• When transporting hanging loads, suitable
devices (e.g. guy wires or hand rails) are
to be made available and used by guide
persons.
