RUCK
The MB20/26 can be carried on a suitably rated transportation vehicle or trailer.
Because of its high gradeability, the machine can be driven under its own power on to
a standard loading ramp (Up to 14 degrees).
It is recommended to reverse the machine up on to the truck thus forward travelling
down the ramp at the delivery point. Winch-assisted loading is allowable for larger
slopes, however, operate the trucks assist winch at minimum speed to avoid over-
pressurising the hydraulic system in the machine.
When the MB20/26 is on the truck or trailer it should then be made secure by:-
1.Chocking the wheels.
2.Securing with adequate chains or straps to the lifting lugs on the chassis.

ALVES
The fail-safe brakes are automatically applied when the machine comes to a stop or in
the event of total power loss due to low battery or malfunction of the hydraulic drive
system.
To tow the vehicle or to winch it on to a truck it is necessary to hydraulically bypass the
control valves and release these brakes.
DO NOT loop straps through the cage, ladder or jib as this could
cause permanent structural damage during transportation.
