Map the full equipment envelope before the pick or move begins.
Make the equipment envelope visible
Before equipment operates near overhead power lines, define the full work zone and the maximum working radius—not merely the point where the machine begins the shift. The boundary has to account for the equipment, load line, load and rigging at their possible reach.
Use a three-part pre-lift check
Draw the boundary. Mark the work zone or define the full 360-degree operating area before moving equipment.
Identify the exposure. Determine whether any part of the machine, line or load could approach the power line inside that envelope. Do not wait until the boom is moving to decide.
Choose the control before release. Where exposure exists, stop and use the applicable required option—such as confirmed deenergization and grounding or the prescribed clearance-control measures. Coordinate the decision with the utility and the qualified people required for the work.
Turn the map into a crew brief
Give operators, signal persons and nearby crews the same picture: line location, marked boundary, permitted travel route, the stop-work signal and the person authorized to change the plan. A map that stays in a pre-task folder does not control a live workfront.
Field question for today
Can the crew show where the equipment, load and rigging could travel at maximum reach—and name the control that prevents a breach? If not, pause before the pick or move.

Zero Results, Zero Sales
They came to your site ready to buy. They typed exactly what they wanted. And your search bar ghosted them.
Traditional site search relies on rigid, exact keyword matching. When a shopper uses natural language or makes a simple typo, they hit a “0 Results Found” wall and leave for a competitor.
Stop letting search bars ghost your best customers. Gladly understands shopper intent and turns dead ends into recommendations that keep shoppers buying.
