Placing a Suspended Load
Before placing any load be sure that:
• The landing point can safely support the weight of the load.
• The landing point is level; front to back and side to side.
• Use the capacity chart to determine safe boom and transfer carriage extension
range. See “Use of the Capacity Chart” on page 5-4.
• Align load at the level load is to be placed, then position boom slowly until load is
just above area where it is to be placed.
• Ensure that the guide persons and operator remain in constant communication
(verbal or hand) when placing the load.
• The transfer carriage can be used to place the load onto the landing point, being
certain the load is within the transfer limits.
Disengaging a Suspended Load
• Never place the guide persons between the suspended load and the telehandler.
• Once at the destination of the load, ensure to bring the telehandler to a complete
stop and apply the park brake prior to disengagement of the lifting devices and
tethers.
