Telehandler Operation
Be certain that the platform is securely attached to
the telehandler, lifting carriage and forks.
Be certain that the lifting carriage and forks are
secured to prevent them from pivoting freely.
Do not drive the telehandler
when occupants are in the
platform.
Always fully lower the platform and have
occupants leave the platform before driving the
telehandler.
Before elevating personnel, the area shall be
marked to warn of work by elevated personnel.
Prior to lifting personnel, platform occupants and
telehandler operator must establish a means of
communication for positioning of the platform.
Be sure that operators of other overhead and floor
level machines are aware of the machine’s
presence.
Lifting Personnel
Occupants, equipment and
materials shall not exceed
the maximum platform
capacity. Distribute loads
evenly on the platform floor.
The combined weight of the platform, load, and
personnel shall not exceed one-third of the
capacity at the related load center position
(24 inches / 60 cm) as indicated on the load charts
of the telehandler on which the platform is used.
Be certain that the path of platform travel is clear of
hazards such as storage racks, scaffolds,
overhead obstructions, and electrical wires.
Do not level the machine
with the frame sway
function when the platform
is occupied.
Be certain that the platform
is horizontal before lifting,
and do not tilt the platform
forward or backward when
the occupied platform is
elevated.
When equipped, always lower the stabilizers prior
to raising personnel.
