Chapter 10 – Stowing and Transporting

A38E – 8210052 41

Making sure the equipment used is capable of sup-

porting the weight of the aerial platform.

Making sure all manufacturer’s instructions and warn-

ings, regulations and safety rules of their employer

and/or any state or federal law are followed.

Use the following procedure to hoist the aerial platform

onto the transport vehicle.

1. Properly stow the aerial platform.

2. Inspect the front lifting lugs (refer to Figure 10.2) and

the rear lifting lugs (refer to Figure 10.4) to make sure

they are free of cracks and are in good condition.

Have any damage repaired by a qualified service

technician before attempting to hoist the machine.

3. Remove all personnel, tools, materials, or other loose

objects from the platform.

4. Connect the chains or straps to the lifting lugs using

bolted shackles. Hooks that fit properly in the lugs

and that have latching mechanisms to prevent them

from falling out under a slack line condition may also

be used.

Do not run the sling cable through the lifting lugs.

Cable damage and/or failure can result from the

cable contacting the sharp corners of the lug.

There is no effective way of putting a corner

protector in the hole of the lifting lug.

5. Use spreader bars of sufficient length to keep the

chains, straps, or cables from contacting the turn-

table, booms, and steer cylinders.

When using cables, use rigid corner protectors at

any point where the cable contacts sharp corners

to prevent damaging the cable.

Careful rigging of the spreaders is required to

prevent machine damage.

•

6. Adjust the length of each chain or strap so the aerial

platform remains level when raised off the ground.

7. Use the hoist or crane to carefully raise and position

the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle.

Securing for Transport

Use the following procedure to secure the aerial platform

on the transport vehicle.

1. Chock the wheels and Remove all personnel, tools,

materials, or other loose objects from the platform.

3. Raise the main boom about 1′ (0.3 m).

4. Place a large wood block under the platform support

braces (refer to Figure 9.5). Lower the platform so it

rests on the wood block.

Figure 10.5 – Platform

5. Place the lower controls emergency stop switch in the

off position. Turn the start switch to the off position

and remove the key.

6. Unplug the battery disconnect switch off and close

and latch the battery trays and chassis covers.

7. Use wire-ties to fasten the gravity gate to the guard-

rails to prevent them from bouncing.

Caution

Ratchets, winches, and come-alongs may produce

enough force to damage machine components. Do

not over tighten the straps or chains when securing

the aerial platform to the transport vehicle.

8. Use a nylon strap to securely fasten the platform

against the wood block.

9. Use chains or straps to securely fasten the aerial

platform to the transport vehicle using the tie-down

lugs as attachment points. Proper tie-down and haul-

ing are the responsibility of the carrier.
