Rules for Road Travel
Observe All Vehicles Code
Requirements for Travel on Public Roads
Some national and local laws and rules exist regard-
ing the travel of crane vehicles on public roads.
Before traveling on roads, study the requirements
for road travel for the crane, and strictly obey all the
regulations.
Driving Crane (Carrier) in Road Travel
Configuration
A swaying hook block or boom, or extended outrig-
gers pose extreme hazards during crane road travel.
Before traveling, stow the hook block and boom in
position, and lock the outrigger beams, etc., in posi-
tion (if lock pins are available). Give a traveling
configuration to the machine by referring to the
manual.
Do Not Travel with Any Cargo on the
Crane
Carrying cargo on a traveling crane can result in a
spill or fall. Use a vehicle designed specifically for
cargo transport.
Be Aware of Overhead Obstacles
Pay attention to overhead clearance when passing
under electric car wires, highway or railway bridges,
and passing through a tunnel.
If the planned route necessitates travel below over-
head railway lines or overhead bridges or through a
tunnel, check the clearances in advance.
