Excavator lifting duties check

Checklist · Every day before use

The check before an excavator lifts a load: it is set up for lifting, with its check valves, rated capacity indicator, lifting point and quick hitch all right, and its thorough examination in date.

Use it in Sitro: add it to a project and fill it on a phone, free for 14 days.
