IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:
Precautions to Take Before Rolling a Load
The PowerRoll should be operated on relatively level and smooth concrete (or
similar) flooring, as is typical for indoor industrial applications. Operation on sloping
(gradient) floors or on uneven surfaces is a safety risk and not recommended.
Before moving the load, ensure the path over which the load will travel is not occupied -
by either people or obstacles. Also ensure there is not a slope away from the load
which could result in the load free rolling faster than the PowerRoll. If possible, place a
Safety Stop on the opposite side of the load to the PowerRoll to ensure the load cannot
move beyond the end of its intended travel.
Operators should refer to the safety procedures of the facility in which the PowerRoll is
being used. All precautions are required in ensuring a clear path is available, sufficient
warning or safety lock-out is put into effect, and where possible a safety stop or similar
is in place so as to ensure moving the load will not result in damage or injury to
property or person. Appropriate caution should also be exercised in rolling loads up
inclines due to the risk of the load rolling back onto the operator or other unintended
movement of the load.

OPTION: SAFETY STOP / CHOCK
PowerHandling offers two styles of inexpensive wedge
shaped safety stops which can be wheeled into
position conveniently without the operator having to
bend down to pick it up or kick it into position. Its ease
of use increases the likelihood of it being used, thus
increasing operational safety.
