  • Page 22: Definition Of This Loader Crane

    Usage of the crane The EFFER loader crane is used to lift and move loads in the working area permitted by the load plate and the load diagram. The cranes are normally mounted on a vehicle but they can also be mounted on a fixed base plate.
  • Page 23: Noise Declaration

    Safety precautions and warnings • Using a personnel basket (as the crane must be certified as a MEWP crane by a notified body). Please always refer to the MEWP’s Operator's Manual. DANGER Lifting people with a crane is never allowed unless it is a MEWP crane. When working in a personnel basket, both feet must have contact with the floor of the basket.
