Aluminum toeboards are not strong enough to use
when securing the platform to the transport vehicle.
Damage to the platform will occur if the nylon strap
is placed over the toeboards. Thread the strap
through the platform mounting bracket or over the
mid rail when securing an aluminum platform.

13. Use a nylon strap to securely fasten the platform

against the wood block. On steel platforms, thread
the strap over the toeboard as shown in Figure 9.6.

14. On aluminum platforms, thread the strap over the

platform mounting bracket or the mid rail as shown
in Figure 9.6.

Ratchets, winches, and come-alongs can produce
enough force to damage machine components. Do
not over tighten the straps or chains when securing
the aerial platform to the transport vehicle.

15. Use chains or straps to securely fasten the aerial

platform to the transport vehicle using the tie-down
lugs as attachment points. Proper tie-down and
hauling are the responsibility of the carrier.
