What component must be reviewed to ensure the safe transport of heavy equipment?

To ensure the safe transport of heavy equipment, reviewing the load capacity is crucial. Load capacity refers to the maximum weight that the transport vehicle or rigging equipment can safely handle without risk of failure. Understanding the load capacity helps prevent accidents such as vehicle tipping, equipment failure, or structural damage during transport.

In the context of transporting heavy equipment, proper assessment of load capacity ensures compliance with safety standards and regulations, protecting both personnel and investment in the equipment. On the other hand, while factors like the manufacturing year, finish type, and operator skills may influence overall safety and performance, they do not directly affect the fundamental ability of the transport method to handle the weight of the load being transported.
