distributed evenly on the load car-
riage surface and the calculations
are done accordingly. Thus, the load
up to the maximum carrying ca-
pacity of your vehicle must be dis-
tributed to ensure that equal weights
are at the unit areas over the utilized
carriage area.
•
During the loading operation, do not
exceed the permissible maximum
height. A loading performed within
the specified loading limit will ensure
that you keep away from traffic
accidents.
Perform the following checks after load-
ing and unloading:
•
Check that the tanker is properly
filled (filling level, load distribution,
etc.)
•
All valves and manhole covers are
closed and secured.
•
All material hoses are safely
removed.
•
Check that the folding ladder and
handrail are folded and secured.
•
All danger signs are in place and
visible.
•
In addition to these checks, some of
the equipment in the vehicle must
also be checked in their manufactur-
er's manual.
Loading and unloading the
tanker vehicle that is not con-
nected to the tractor may cau-
se the vehicle to overturn. Fill
or unload the tanker vehicle
only when the vehicle is con-
nected to the tractor.
Forces may affect the vehicle
A- Brake Force
B- Centrifugal Force
C- Static Weight Force
D- Ramp / Hill Force
When filling the material, if the
filling is done too close to the
front or the rear, or if the tank
is overfilled, the driving and
braking characteristics of the
vehicle will deteriorate. This
poses a great risk.
•
Fill the material as evenly as
possible.
•
Observe the permissible tank and
axle loads.
•
Pay attention to the minimum and
maximum filling levels.
7.2.1.1. Load Safety
The international Highways Regulations
specify the maximum loading capacities
of tractors, trucks, trailers, semi-trailers
