Additional Requirements:
A lift plan must be devised by a competent person and available for reference by the operator. When devising the plan, consideration must be taken to ensure that:
-
there is sufficient clearance between the load and front of the machine to account for load swing which may require (depending on model) the fitment of a jib
-
boom extension is sufficient to ensure clearance between the telehandler chassis and load but no more than needed
-
that the length of the lifting accessories minimises the travel height of the boom whilst not exceeding the included angle of the accessory
-
hand lines are specified to allow appropriate external control of the load whilst keeping the slinger/signaller clear of the machine’s travel path.
