Check Load Height Before Transporting Machines {7500}

Usage:

Dealers frequently report machine damage which occurred while a machine was in transit on a truck. These incidents usually involve ROPS and/or mufflers being damaged or torn off the machine because the "load height" was higher than the clearance under an overpass. Significant damage to the overpass or obstruction which was hit can also occur. Transporting a machine without knowing the load height and overpass clearances is a dangerous practice. Be sure to always check and verify the load height of each machine prior to transporting.
