1.3. During crane operation
1.3-1 Avoid danger of crushing
Avoid operating situations in which there is a risk of you or bystanders being crushed by the crane,
the support system or load.
The crush point is not regarded as a danger point for the body parts stated if the safety distances
highlighted below are complied with and it is ensured that the next-biggest body part cannot
penetrate.
Required minimum distances:
Body Leg Foot Arm Hand Finger
500 mm 180 mm 120 mm 100 mm 25 mm
If the distances are not complied with there is risk of injury and
even death.
1.3-2 Danger of burn injuries
Because of the flow of oil in the hydraulic unit the hydraulic oil and therefore all components in the
hydraulic unit are heated. The control valve, all other valves, hydraulic lines and hoses, hose
couplings, hydraulic cylinders, etc. can become so hot that they can cause burns if touched.
Therefore always be careful of their temperature before touching hydraulic components.
1.3-3 Noise emission
Main source of noise: the vehicle motor
Protective measures: Wear ear protectors.
High noise pollution puts health at risk. The crane operator is obliged to observe the noise protection
standards applicable in the specific country.
