Scout's Toolbox Talks

Anytime the crane is moved or repositioned — even slightly — you must reassess its stability.

Why It Matters:

Shifting the crane’s position changes the center of gravity, ground pressure, and lift dynamics. Failing to recheck can lead to tipping, structural strain, or dropped loads.

Key Points:

• Re-level the crane after any movement, even small adjustments.
• Inspect all outriggers and cribbing — movement may cause settling or shifting.
• Recalculate the load chart for the new setup position and angle.
• Assign a spotter to confirm ground conditions remain stable.

✅ New position = new risk. Always reassess.

Ask the Crew:

• Did we stop to recheck everything after the last move?
• Are our outriggers still on firm, level ground?
• Is the new lift radius within capacity?
