When moving large pieces of concrete, where should the bucket be positioned?

Positioning the bucket under the center of gravity when moving large pieces of concrete is crucial for stability and control. The center of gravity is the point where the weight of the object is evenly distributed, and when the bucket is aligned with this point, it minimizes the risk of the load tipping or shifting during movement.

This alignment ensures that the operator can maintain better control over the load, which is particularly important given the weight and potential bulkiness of concrete pieces. If the bucket is placed above the load or at one side, it can lead to an unbalanced lift, making it difficult to maneuver safely. Similarly, placing the bucket at the front edge might cause the load to tip forward, increasing the chance of dropping it or losing stability. Therefore, positioning the bucket accurately under the center of gravity enhances both safety and operational efficiency during transportation of heavy materials.
