back onto deck and make necessary adjustments.
Once the load is lifted from the trailer move the
truck out from under the load if the truck cab does
not have to pass under the suspended load.

be current. Rigging gear shall be inspected prior
to use to ensure that the gear has not suffered any
damage as a result of previous use (LS).
 Damaged equipment to be destroyed to prevent
further use (LS).
 All equipment used in the unloading of material
and equipment shall have been inspected and
certified as fit for use on the project. All cranes
shall have been site inspected and have an

 Prior to moving the load ensure there is a point
that enables a good grip – i.e. handles, levers lugs
etc.
 Ensure the load is free from sharp or rough edges.
 Ensure the load is stable and will not shift its
center of gravity suddenly – may require banding
or securing in a box.
 Ensure the load is free from grease or oil.
