6.2. Transportation
In order to move the machine to a different working site, follow the instructions given below. Because of the considerable
size and dimensions of this machine, please make sure to consult your local road traffic authorities before transporting
on any carrier.
Before transporting the machine, turn it off and remove the keys from the control panels. No people
are allowed in proximity to or on the machine to avoid any risks resulting from sudden movements.
For safety reasons never lift or tow the machine by its booms or platform.
Loading operations are to be carried out on a flat surface with a suitable capacity, after setting the
basket in the initial position.
To transport the machine, load it on a vehicle of a suitable size as following:

By means of loading ramps and handling controls located on the basket, load the machine on the transport
vehicle (if ramp slope is within the gradient described in paragraph “TECHNICAL FEATURES” and ramp
capacity is adequate to weight) following the instructions given in paragraph “OPERATING INSTRUCTION”
under paragraph “Drive and steering”. During this loading operation, it is best to raise the Jib (if available - see
picture aside) to prevent knocking the basket against the ground. Avoid loading other booms during this
operation to prevent the emergency micros from being activated, which in case of inclined machine would
disable all the manoeuvres except the descent. If the slope exceeds the maximum admissible one, the machine
must be winched and in this case the operator in the basket needs to activate the drive controls and release the
parking brakes. The slope can be determined using an electronic level or empirically as described below:
position a wood board of known length on the gradient to be measured. Position a spirit level on the wood
board and lift the downstream extremity of the latter until it is level. Measure the distance ( A ) between the axle
and the ground, divide it by the axle length ( B ) and multiply by 100. The following image recaps the above
procedure.

By means of hooks and steel ropes (with
safety factor = 5, see machine weight in
Technical Features): perform hooking to the
special holes as shown in the picture on the side.
Fig.16
 By means of fork lift of a suitable capacity (see machine weight in table “Technical features” at the beginning
of this manual) equipped with forks having at least the same length as the machine width. Insert the forks as
indicated by the stickers on the machine. Should these stickers be not available, DO NOT lift the machine by
means of a lift truck. Lifting the machine by means of a lift truck is a dangerous operation, which must be
carried out by qualified operators only.
