Basic safety instructions regarding the tilting process
Tippers have a high risk of falling over.
They may fall over while tilting the load
and cause major injuries and serious
damage to goods.
Tipper accidents have varied causes and
usually result when a combination of
several issues was neglected during the
tipping process.
We are listing the most important issues
below, so that the risk of falling over can
be minimised.
Clean cargo bed
The inside surfaces of the cargo
bed must be kept clean to
prevent bulk goods from sliding
off!

Thoroughly clean the cargo bed after
each transport.
Total mass / weight
Higher loads increase the risk of
falling over!
Exceeding the max. permitted
total mass strongly increases the
risk of falling over.

Adhere to the permitted total mass
and the max. load capacity as well as
the max. axle loads.

Do not overload the cargo bed - as this
has a negative effect on this vehicle
component and the tilting moment.
Uneven / soft ground
Tilting on a soft / uneven ground
significantly reduces the stability
of the vehicle during the tilting
process!

Check before tilting that the vehicle
stands on firm and even ground -
which can usually be seen with the
naked eye.
Tyre pressure / load distribution
Uneven tyre pressure (different
on the right and left side) as well
as uneven load distribution
increase the risk of falling over!

Regularly check the tyre pressure -
establish the same tyre pressure in all
tyres.

Evenly distribute the goods across the
whole lengths / width of the cargo bed.
