Are you in the construction industry and find that you need to rent equipment from time to time? Do you find yourself in need of a backhoe, scissor lift, generator or maybe a telehandler? If so, Slaymaker Group will provide you with a Telehandler Rental in Harrisburg, PA. However, you must use all safety precautions in the use of a telehandler and be aware of all the hazards involved.
By law, any worksite where a telehandler will be used must be organized in such a way as to prevent pedestrians and the telehandlers from meeting. Only trained and qualified technicians may operate such equipment. Injuries that occur with the usage of a telehandler usually happen when the machine is in motion, such as when it is in reverse, or when the telehandler is lifting. It may overturn with the operator or strike a pedestrian.
Ensure that you have the right type of telehandler for the job which you are doing. Make sure that you have optimum visibility to maintain safety. This includes the rear visibility as well, which may need to be supported by a signaler or some type of reverse alarm. Try to ensure you are on flat, level surface, as the telehandler works best and safest on a flat surface. When it comes to loading, do not use the telehandler for more than what it is safe. If you find that you need to load more, select a telehandler with the right maximum weight capacity. Try to avoid driving with raised loads as much as possible, and be sure to drive at safe speeds.
These are just some safety tips to be aware of when you decide you need to use a telehandler. For your telehandler and other equipment needs, the Slaymaker Group is on hand to meet your rental needs. They offer a full range of rental equipment from names like JLG, Caterpillar and John Deere. They also provide services and sales in electric motors and control panels.
