a. Skid mounted - lifting eyes， or fittings for attaching lifting gear， should be provided to ensure the safe handling of the pump
unit by crane. A clearly visible permanent notice indicating the overall weight should be fixed to the unit.
b. Trailer mounted - Trailers should be constructed in accordance with RTA regulations if the unit is designed for towing on
public roads.

warning device. A permanent notice should be fixed in the drivers cab to indicate the maximum height of the unit in
travelling order.
d. Concrete pump and boom manufacturers， or firms responsible for mounting these components on vehicles， should ensure that
the vehicle selected is suitable for the equipment to be mounted. In particular， the vehicle should be assessed for:
(i) Axle loadings and gross vehicle weight including any additional weight of ancillary equipment such as a full water tank
for routine tasks， pipes， hoses and couplings.
(ii) Power/weight ratio.
(iii) Performance on the highway.
(iv) Performance under site conditions.
(v) Stability， both on the highway and under site conditions.
(vi) Torsion of chassis frame.
