Safe Operation of a Truck Mounted Crane:

Operational consideration and precautions:

• Choose the best working position to park the vehicle. The optimum site would be a position that is as level as possible (no slope greater than 5°, check level gauge on vehicle), is sturdy enough to accommodate the vehicle stabilisers/outriggers (provide\place pressure on pads for pre check if unsure) and provides unrestricted views of the unloading process.

  Passed

  Trained

  Retrained

  N/A

• The operator must not be positioned between the load and the vehicle at any time during lifting. Operate from the opposite side. The remotes allow you the ability to stand clear.

  Passed

  Trained

• The stabiliser should be fully extended as directed by the manufacturer’s recommendations and blocked if on soft ground.

  Passed

  Passed

Load slinging

• Incorrect slinging or load attachment will also lead to accidents. Make sure your load is within the rated capacity for the device and any slings or lifting chains are adequate for the weight of the load. The following points must be observed:

  

• Ensure that the load is slung in a way that it will not shift in the sling when lifted. This will require careful consideration of the centre of gravity and balance. (Direct load, choke hitch, basket hitch)
