3. Always stand at arm’s length to the side of the material and properly grasp the clamp as shown in photo
7. If you must use two clamps to balance the load, grasp plate clamp #2. This is demonstrated in the,
“Properly grasp the second clamp” diagram below. Make sure that your clothing, feet, and the rest of your
body stay out from underneath the load. This stance allows the operator to exercise some control of the load
and optimizes safety.
4. The sheet must remain level during movement. Walk slowly to keep the load level. If the material has to be
removed from a container or be lifted over an obstacle, use a different device if you will not be able to
maintain the safe stance described in Rule 3.
If you use a motorized trolley:
DO NOT push or pull the clamp or the load. Allow the trolley to provide all movement. Your hold on the
clamp is a means ONLY for stabilizing the load.
If you use a manual trolley:
Properly grasp the clamp with one hand. DO NOT push or pull the sheet. Move the trolley with your hand that
grasps the clamp. Walk slowly to keep the load level.
