How many degrees can a TLB be pivoted in either direction when using a tripod?

The ability of a Tracked Loader Boom (TLB) to pivot when using a tripod is critical for maintaining stability and ensuring safe operation. A TLB can pivot approximately 25 degrees in either direction when utilizing a tripod setup. This range allows the operator to make necessary adjustments to positioning while ensuring that the lift remains secure and balanced.

The design of the tripod aims to provide optimal support and minimize the risk of tipping or losing control, which is why exceeding this pivot range is discouraged. Understanding this pivoting capability is essential for operators, as it affects maneuverability, safety, and the efficiency of lifting operations. Proper training and adherence to these limits are crucial components of safe hoisting practices.
