Traffic Flow Patterns
Know and understand the traffic flow patterns of your
jobsite. Know all Telescopic Handler hand signals for
safety. Use signal persons as necessary for safe opera-
tion, and be sure you can see the signal person and
acknowledge the signals given.
When ramps must be used in transporting loads with
the machine, the following are the minimum widths for
safe travel:
Compacted dirt, gravel, etc. 12 ft. (3.6 m)
Woodboard, concrete, etc. 10 ft. (3.0 m)
Permanent aisles, roadways and passageways, floors
and ramps must be clearly defined or marked.
Permanent or temporary protrusion of loads, equip-
ment, material and construction facilities into the usual
operating area must be guarded, clearly and distinc-
tively marked, or clearly visible.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, plat-
forms and other similar working surfaces.
Controlled lighting of adequate intensity should be
provided in operating areas. Where operating condi-
tions indicate, the operator/user is responsible for hav-
ing the machine equipped with lights.
Provisions must be made to prevent trucks, semi-trail-
ers and railroad cars from being moved during loading
and unloading.
Wheel stops, parking brakes, or other positive holding
means must be used to prevent movement during load-
ing and unloading.
DO NOT move railroad cars and trailers with the
Telescopic Handler.
DO NOT use the boom and attachment for leverage to
push the machine out of mud.
