摘要：	ALLMI, the loader crane trade association, has been promoting a safety campaign following an incident that could have been avoided if the loader crane and brick grab attachment were correctly strapped for travel. Prior to the incident, the lorry loader was being taken to a location by an unnamed third-party delivery company. It was fitted with a brick grab attachment and so was not folded for travel but stowed in a horizontal position over the body with the attachment resting on the vehicle bed. The boom extensions had not been fully retracted, which increased the swing or whiplash effect on the loader crane when cornering. The driver of the vehicle had not been told of the requirement to strap down the loader crane, so it was not secured. When the lorry loader turned a corner, the crane slewed over the side of the vehicle bed and the grab struck two structures on the pavement before making contact with an occupied, parked vehicle. No one was injured, and the driver has since been trained in the requirements and methods of strapping down the loader crane - guidance which has been included in the new initiative.
