Telescopic Handler Suspended Loads For Experienced Operators
Area Required:
Flat level surface for all travelling and manoeuvring activities with a suspended load
Equipment Required:
-
Applicable lifting accessories for attaching all suspended loads to the hook
-
Items to create restrictions for manoeuvring
-
Slinger/signaller assistance
-
Structure or below-ground level location for placing a load out-of-sight of the operator
Loads Required:
- 1 x load at least 50% of the rated capacity* of the telehandler
- 1 x load being a minimum of 3 metres in length
- 2 x equal-sized loads (width and length) for stacking purposes
- Who Do We Recommend Attends The Course?
- All personnel completing lifting operations with a Tele-handler
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
