Chapter 9 – Stowing and Transporting

SB47JRT – 0075522

A

Danger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-

stable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-

over accident. Do not drive on ramps that exceed

25 percent grade, or where conditions of the ramp

could cause driving to be hazardous.

Drive the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle if the

ramp incline is within the 25 percent grade capability of

the aerial platform.

 A 25 percent grade is a 0.76 m (30

) vertical rise in 3.05

m (10

) horizontal length.

Use a winch to load and unload the aerial platform on

ramps that exceed 25 percent grade. A winch may also

be used when conditions of the ramp could cause driving

to be hazardous.

The equipment used to load, unload, and transport the

aerial platform must have adequate capacity. Refer to

Chapter 2 to determine the approximate weight of the

aerial platform.

The user assumes all responsibility for choosing the  proper

method of transportation, and the proper selection and

use of transportation and tie-down devices, making sure

the equipment used is capable of supporting the weight

of the aerial platform and that all manufacturer’s instruc-

tions and warnings, regulations and safety rules of their

employer, the DOT and/or any other state or federal law

are followed.

Driving

Use the following procedure to drive the aerial platform

onto the transport vehicle.

  1. Locate the transport vehicle so it is in a straight line

with the loading ramp.

  2. Chock the vehicle wheels so it cannot roll away from

the ramp while the machine is loaded.

  3. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other

loose objects from the platform.

  4. Drive the machine to the foot of the loading ramp with

the front wheels nearest the ramp. Make sure the

machine is centered with the ramps and that the steer-

ing wheels are straight.

  5. Rotate the platform so it is perpendicular to the boom.

  6. Retract the tip boom and raise the main boom so it

is horizontal.

  7. Rotate the turntable slightly to the side so you can

see the front wheels.

  8. Verify that the machine wheels, loading ramps, and

transport vehicle are aligned.

A

Danger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-

stable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-

over accident. Set the drive range to low before

driving up or down a grade.

  9. Place the drive range switch in the low position.

10. Drive the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle in

a straight line through the grade transitions with mini-

mal turning.

11. Rotate the turntable to align the main boom between

the rear wheels.

12. When driving down the ramp, always back the ma-

chine with the platform on the downhill side only.

Winching

Use the following procedure to winch the aerial platform

onto the transport vehicle.

  1. Locate the transport vehicle so the aerial platform

will not roll forward after it is loaded.

  2. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other

loose objects from the platform.

  3. Drive the machine to the foot of the loading ramp with

the front wheels nearest the ramp. Make sure the

machine is centered with the ramps and that the steer-

ing wheels are straight.

  4. Properly stow the aerial platform.

  5. Attach the winch to the tie-down lugs (refer to Figure

9.3) on the front of the chassis.

Figure 9.3 – Front Tie-Down Lugs

  6. At each drive wheel, remove the two bolts from the

disconnect plate (refer to Figure 9.4). Turn the plate

over so the nipple points inward. Reinstall the two

bolts.
