Working under machine

Working under cab
On machines with cab lift the machine shall be secured in raised po-
sition with the intended locks.
Working under chassis
A lifted/raised vehicle may under no circumstances be supported or
lifted in parts that belong to the wheel suspension or steering. Al-
ways support under the frame or wheel axle.
Risks
A
Mechanical or hydraulic tools and lifting devices can fall over or ac-
cidentally be lowered due to malfunctions or incorrect use.
Safety actions
Use axle stands and supports that stand securely.
Lifting tools should be inspected and type approved for use.

Lifting heavy components

Careless handling of heavy components can lead to
serious personal injury and material damage.
Use type approved lifting tools or other devices to
move heavy components. Make sure that the device
is stable and intact.
Risks
Unsuitable lift slings, straps, etc. may break or slip.
The centre of gravity (balance point) of the component can change
during the course of the work, and the component may then make
unexpected movements which may cause severe personal injuries
and material damage.
A component lifted with lifting equipment can start to turn if the
equilibrium is upset.
A component lifted using an overhead crane may start to swing back
and forth, which can cause severe crushing injuries or material dam-
age.
