  Tire Inflation Pressure on Mobile Cranes:

A change in tire inflation pressure may constitute "Tire Servicing."  OSHA 1910.177 defines servicing as ["Service" or "servicing" means the mounting and dismounting of rim wheels, and related activities such as inflating, deflating, installing, removing, and handling.]

When a mobile crane operator makes an "On-Rubber" lift tire inflation pressures may have to be increased over what is required for normal driving operations.  This increase can put you at risk of not meeting OSHA regulations and may lead to a serious accident.

Operators sometimes lower tire pressures to soften their drive around construction sites. Some crane manufacturers specify lower tire pressures for driving the crane and greater pressures for On-Rubber lifts.  What this means is that a potential untrained person may end up "servicing" a single or multi-piece rim wheel without proper barriers and/or restraining devices.

Keep your job sites safe. Read and follow OSHA 1910.177 "Servicing multi-piece and single piece rim wheels.
