416E Backhoe Loader Caterpillar

Investigate the travel route for overpass clearances. Make sure that there will be adequate clearance if the machine that is transported is equipped with a ROPS, with a cab, or with a canopy.

Before you load the machine, remove ice, snow, or other slippery material from the loading dock and from the truck bed. Remove the slippery material in order to prevent the slipping of the machine. This should also be done in order to prevent a shift while the machine is moving in transit.
