Transportation
Transporting the Crane
The boom must be stowed in the boom rack before transporting the crane.
Restrain the boom extend sections by snugging the hook block against the boom head, or secure the
boom head back to the base section of the boom with chains or cable when transporting the crane on
a semitrailer. An extended(ing) boom can cause substantial damage. The hydraulic system will not hold
the sections against the hard breaking jolts while the crane is being transported.
- Carry the boom over the front only.
- Lock the swing brake and swing lock.
- Secure the hook block or ball to the bumper loop or raise the hook block or ball close to the boom
head sheaves before moving.
The outrigger pins need insertion to retain beams in retracted position.
- Make sure all (4) four outriggers are completely swung inboard and beams retracted and locked
per instruction on item 1, before moving the crane.

Outrigger Beam Lock Pin
- shown in (locked) position, lift bolt, rotate pin clockwise until bolt
drops into slot lowest position which will prevent beam from extending. Never drive crane without
locking all (4) four pins.
