What should a crane operator do if they can't level their crawler crane?

In situations where a crawler crane cannot be leveled, the safest course of action is to not operate the crane. This is crucial because an unlevel crane can lead to instability, increasing the risk of tipping over during operation. Ensuring that the crane is level before use is fundamental to maintaining safety standards and protecting both the operator and other personnel on site.

Operating a crane that is not level may compromise its lifting capacity and stability, making it hazardous. It’s essential for crane operators to prioritize safety and adhere to operational guidelines, which typically dictate that the crane be properly leveled before any lifting activities commence. In cases where leveling is not achievable, the operator should refrain from using the crane until the issue can be rectified, either by adjusting leveling or finding a suitable environment.
