Take into consideration all other traffic in the vicinity, because they may not know that you are moving. Plan your assent cautiously. Park the boom lift on a flat surface that has no mud or water. These areas cover deep potholes which could be probably cause the occupants to fall if the tires fell into the holes. If provided, use all of the outriggers, extended completely. Be sure to just use wooden chalk blocks which are approved.



A lot of lifts operate from a metal platform on the end of the boom. The extended booms act as levers from the drive unit's center. A 6-inch bump can result in a 3-foot bounce while you are at the driver controls. Consider all other traffic. They may not know that you are moving. Plan your assent. Park the boom lift on a flat surface free of any water or mud. These areas could cover deep potholes wherein the lift tires can fall, tipping the occupants. Extend all outriggers, if provided, to the full extension position. Place just approved wooden chalk blocks under the outrigger pads in order to prevent the unit from moving.



Overhead power lines are a serious danger for lift operators no matter what lift is being utilized. Like for instance, if the platform driver is not being aware, or if the platform is being controlled by workers on the ground that could not accurately access nearness to wiring and thus, either the platform itself or the worker can be easily brought into contact with electrical wires. The employee could be electrocuted unfortunately unless properly insulated.
