Stowing
At the end of each work day (or in preparation for
lifting or storage) a qualified operator should put
the ATB 42/50 into its stowed position then lock
it.
The correct stowed position is shown here.
To bring the ATB 42/50 into the stowed position
use the controls on the ground control box or
platform control box to:
1. Fully retract the booms (ATB 50 only).
2. Fully lower the booms.
3. Center the main boom between the rear
wheels.

Transporting
u
Trailering
An ATB 42/50 weighs approximately 15,280
pounds (6930 kg). Loading ramps must be able
to support that weight. Transport trailers must be
able to safely transport that weight.
A
DANGER
DO NOT load an ATB 42/50 on grades over
25%; or with the turntable rotated with respect
to the chassis; or on ramps with poor traction,
uneven surfaces, or steps.
To safely drive an ATB 42/50 onto a transport
trailer:
1. Visually inspect the alignment of the loading
ramp (1) and the truck or trailer (2). They
should both be on the same straight line.
2. Chock (3) the wheels of the truck or trailer so
it cannot roll away form the loading ramp (1)
while the ATB 42/50 is being loaded.
3. Set the Platform/Ground Selector switch on
the platform control box to PLATFORM (up).
