When carrying out a pick and carry operation, what must be adhered to regarding tire pressure?

Must be lower than manufacturer's specifications
Must not exceed 50 psi
Must meet manufacturer's specifications
Tire pressure is not a concern

The correct answer is: Must meet manufacturer's specifications

In a pick and carry operation, maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial for ensuring the safety and stability of the mobile crane. When tire pressure meets the manufacturer's specifications, it guarantees optimal performance and load-bearing capacity. Adequate tire pressure prevents issues such as tire blowouts, decreased maneuverability, and instability while carrying loads. Manufacturers typically provide specifications based on the crane's design and intended use, ensuring that the machine operates safely and effectively under various conditions. This is especially important during pick and carry operations, where the load's weight and distribution can significantly impact the crane's balance and performance, thereby protecting both the operator and the load being moved.
