increases the possibility of tip-over and could
cause serious injury or death ( Figure 41 ).
• Use only a full-width ramp; do not use
individual ramps for each side of the
machine.
• Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between
the ramp and the ground or between the
ramp and the trailer or truck.
• Ensure that the length of the ramp is at
least 4 times as long as the height of the
trailer or truck bed to the ground. This
ensures that the ramp angle does not
exceed 15 degrees on at ground.
