Safety during tipping
The use of tipping trailers
requires a certain amount of
experience and safety briefings
for persons using the trailer to
transport bulk loads, tip loads,
etc.
The operator is obliged to instruct the
driver / loader in the safe handling of
tipping trailers.
DANGER
Wrong tilting of bulk loads /
wrong operation of body
A wrongly executed tipping process or
wrong operation of the loading bridge
and bodies may cause the trailer to tilt /
fall over
- Risk of crushing / impact / accident!
Take note of the following points:
- Which type of bulk loads - viscous or
dry - is being tipped, e.g. rock frag-
ments?
- Is the interior of the cargo bed kept
clean?
- Was the maximum gross weight /
load capacity observed?
- How strong is the substrate during
the tipping process?
- Is the tyre pressure the same for all
tyres?
- How is the load positioned on the
cargo bed?
- How are the weather conditions /
wind strength on site?
- Where are you tipping: on a slope,
into an excavation pit - minimum
distance?
- Do you need to pull on the bulk load
or slow it down during tipping?
- Can the chassis be placed on a jack
(air-suspension)?
- Is a traction force exerted on the
entire train during the tipping process?
- Are there any open power cables in
the proximity?
- Must a roll-up or sliding tarpaulin be
opened?
- Can the vehicle version be operated
together with a road paver?
- How high must the loading bridge be
tilted?
A high-visibility jacket must be
worn while tipping in a traffic-
bearing area!
