What type of line should you be aware of when planning a travel route for an excavator?

When planning a travel route for an excavator, being aware of overhead power lines is critical for ensuring safety and compliance with regulations. Overhead power lines can pose significant hazards, as they can be electrified and cause serious injuries or fatalities if struck. It is essential to maintain safe distances and have a clear understanding of the heights of the excavator and the load being transported.

Additionally, utility companies often have specific guidelines and requirements for working near power lines, which might include securing permits or notifying the utility company before commencing work in their vicinity. By identifying the location of overhead power lines during the planning phase, operators can better mitigate risks and avoid accidents during excavation operations.

While high-speed internet lines, television cable lines, and communication data lines can also be important to consider, they typically do not carry the same level of risk as overhead power lines do.
