H7 – LIFT TRUCK ON A PLATFORM

truck and that the driver of the carrier vehicle is informed of the dimensions and the ground of the lift truck
Ensure that the platform is of sufficient size and load capacity for transporting the lift truck.
Check also the allowable ground contact pressure of the platform relative to the lift truck.
For lift trucks equipped with a turbo-charged engine, block off the exhaust outlet to avoid rotation of the turbo shaft
without lubrication when transporting the vehicle.
