Operator Safety

Do not use a mobile phone or wear radio or music headphones while operating the Sidelifter.

Avoid any distractions or interruptions while operating the Sidelifter. Stop your lift operation in a safe position if you are being distracted or interrupted.

Always use personal protective equipment when operating the Sidelifter.

If you are unable to continue crane operation due to injury or illness, the Sidelifter must be stopped immediately and the fact must be reported to a responsible person. All operations must be disabled until it has been established whether the Sidelifter caused the injury or illness and the Sidelifter has been assessed as suitable for service.

Take care of your back when bending or manually lifting heavy items (e.g. when changing tyres or attaching chains to Sidelifter crane arms).

All Sidelifter operations can be carried out with the operator at ground level. Do not climb onto the crane structure. For maintenance or other operations that require 'working at height' refer to the appropriate regulations.
