Ladder
Falling Hazard
Never allow riders on the walkboard. Use
only the ladder to ascend the cart. Always
face the cart when ascending or
descending the ladder. Use the hand-holds
and handrails. Make sure raised ladders
are latched. A fall from the ladder or
walkboard could result in serious injury or
death.
Overhead Ladder Hazard
Make sure horizontal pin at ladder left,
near pivot, is fully engaged when ladder is
in the raised position. If the ladder is not
pinned in the raised position, it could swing
down and strike someone, or pinch a hand
or arm, resulting in serious injury.
Regulatory Requirement
Raise and latch the ladder for transport. A
lowered ladder may not meet highway
clearance requirements that apply to your
operations.
A ladder is provided on the left end of the cart
walkboard for material loading and routine lid or
hopper maintenance. This ladder pivots vertically,
and is held in the raised position by a spring-loaded
pin. A gas piston regulates the tilting speed.
