3 Transportation on low-bed trailers
When transporting the machine on trailers, the load dimensions and weights should
be taken into account when selecting and using appropriate tractor vehicles and
transporters in accordance with the road traffic and registration authorities.
Approach ramps and tracks of the trailer should be coated with a slip-free material.
There must be sufficient possible attachment points on the trailer.
Approach ramps and trailers must be upright during loading to prevent the machine
from sliding or tilting sideways.
Always keep approach and transport areas free of contamination, such as clay,
grease or oil.
The machine must always reverse up onto the trailer (low loader). Only drive and ma-
noeuvre in the operating gear.
If necessary, use winches to secure the machine when driving on.
The machine should be cleaned before being loaded.
The machine should be parked and secured as follows:
Position the machine on the transporter ensuring that the transport height, width and
loaded distribution corresponds to the relevant regulations.
Activities and preventive measures:
- Lower the machine smoothly until the bit tips on the milling drum are approx. 0.5 -
1.0 cm above the ground, or if wooden supports are available, rest the tips gently
on these.
- Weather protecting sun roof, working lights, warning lamps and operating devices
should be folded inwards or removed. The side roof must be retracted.
- The rear loading belt is placed on its support and the engine is switched off.
- Do not leave any insecure components on the machine or the load surface.
- Secure machine firmly on transport unit.
Depending on the nature of trailer, the upper conveyor can be supported on its own
legs for transport, or can be placed on one of the supports provided on the trailer.
The upper conveyor must also be secured using suitable means.
