BOOM TRUCK IS NOT A PICK AND CARRY CRANE. NEVER
DRIVE TRUCK WITH BOOM EXTENDED OR ELEVATED, OR WITH A LOAD
SUSPENDED FROM LOAD LINE HOOK.
NEVER LEAVE THE WORK SITE OR REPOSITION THE TRUCK CRANE
WITHOUT FIRST SECURING THE BOOM IN ROAD TRAVEL POSITION AND
FULLY RETRACTING ALL OUTRIGGERS.
You should always know the maximum road height of your crane when repositioning at the job site or
preparing for road travel. A placard like the one shown above, which shows the height of your crane as
manufactured and installed is attached to the dash board inside the truck cab. Severe personal injury,
as well as damage to the crane and truck, can result from failure to observe overhead obstructions
during repositioning at the job site or during road travel.
ALWAYS KNOW YOUR MAXIMUM ROAD HEIGHT AND OBSERVE ALL
OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE
DAMAGE TO THE CRANE/VEHICLE AND/OR DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO
OPERATING PERSONNEL.
