Abrupt Departure, Braking And Driving; Load Transport - Pegasolift TPL 16 Guía Para El Uso Y El Mantenimiento

When the work conditions differ from the testing ones (as is the case of piling on
!
inclined surface) there should be undertaken the following measures:
1) if the extraordinary conditions have a permanent character, to undertake
measures agreed with the surveyor and with the competent persons;
2) if the extraordinary conditions have a provisory character, use a truck with a bigger
admissible load or diminish the load.
In case of descent circulation is obligatory to move the truck in reverse direction with
!
the operator by the side of the truck to avoid possible overturn.
In the case of a stop (even a short one) it is recommended to lower the lifting group at
!
the minimum possible height and to take out the start key.
The stop in descent plane is to avoid; in case of necessity, turn the motor wheel in a
!
perpendicular position to the sense of movement and block the truck with nails
It is prohibited to stand in the vicinity of gates, passages, curves or places where the
!
truck could represent an obstacle for other transport means.

ABRUPT DEPARTURE, BRAKING AND DRIVING

At an abrupt braking, the moment of overturn at the front rollers increases due to the
inertia force: if the load is in lifted position or it was risen without a maximum stability on
the lifting group a situation of potential fall of the material is created.
More is the acceleration and the deceleration give to the truck during the load
movement, more is the risk of overturn caused by the inertia force.
During the transport the load must be maintained completely leaned to the head of the
lifting group (see figure A hereunder).
