OPERATING WITH A SUSPENDED LOAD
Lift Load Safely
• You must know the weight and load center of every load you lift. If you are not
sure of the weight and load center, check with your supervisor or with the
supplier of the material.
• Know the rated load capacities (refer to Section 5) of the telehandler to
determine the operating range in which you can safely lift, transport and place a
load.
Picking Up a Suspended Load
• Note the conditions of the terrain. Adjust travel speed and reduce amount of load
if conditions warrant.
• Avoid lifting double-tiered loads.
• Make sure load is clear of any adjacent obstacles.
•
NEVER
operate telehandler without a proper and legible capacity chart in the
operator cab for the telehandler/attachment combination you are using.
• Only use approved lifting devices rated for the lifting of the load.
• Identify the proper lifting points of the load, taking into consideration the center of
gravity and load stability.
• Ensure to always properly tether loads to restrict movement.
• Refer to See
on page 5-4. for proper lifting guidelines
in addition to the appropriate capacity chart in the operator cab.
WARNING
TIP OVER HAZARD.
Exceeding lift capacity of the telehandler could damage the
equipment and/or cause tip over.
