2. Safety (Cont)
c) When an Officer of the Day is on duty at the time of Teleporter activity that person
must be informed that Teleporter operations are in progress.
d) The seat belt MUST be worn at all times during operation and is in good condition
and functions correctly.
e) Prior to use the following safety checks should be carried out-
The attachment to be used is correct (see list under “Attachments” heading) for
the task.
The tyres (and in particular the front tyres) are inflated to the correct pressure. If
the front tyres are to be checked it is important to ensure that Schrader valve is
at the top of the rim before checking as the tyres are ballasted. (80% filled with
water)
The hydraulic fluid level is correct.
f) The Teleporter driver must always ensure that the intended load does not exceed
the “Safe Working Load” as detailed on the plate inside the driver’s door. The “Safe
Working Load” is the maximum weight that can be transported at each lift
depending on the following variable circumstances:
The Maximum Load Capacity
– is shown in the Appendix 2 and on Load Plate
inside the cab door. This will vary with Reach and Lift heights as shown on the
graph
Attachments
– are added to the Carriage and thereby become part of the load.
This weight must be taken from the load weight when calculating the safe
working load. The weight of each attachment is stamped on the Attachment
plate (together with the load capacity of that particular attachment). If the
Attachment load capacity is less than the calculated safe working load for the
Teleporter then, the Attachment load capacity becomes the actual safe working
load.
Terrain
– being the surface on which the load will be carried – affects the safe
working load by its conditions in relation to maintaining stability.
Gradient
– is the angle or incline of the terrain, which by its severity could affect
the safe working load in relation to maintaining stability.
