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. When the point loads
are to be carried, a rigid distribution
platform must be placed under the
load that will place the load up to the
unit area capacity of the semi-trailer.
•
While loading by crane or forklift,
make sure that there is no one
under and around the load.
•
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.
•
It is dangerous and prohibited to fix
the load to the vehicle surface via a
tool apart from the permissible
equipment.

6.3.1. Load Security
The international Highways Regulations
specify the maximum loading capacities
of tractors, trucks, trailers, semi-trailers
along with how and how much of the ton-
nage and dimensions of these loads are
to be secured.
For instance, here, the distribution of the
load amount that can be carried by a 6x2
truck per its axle, to the vehicle’s weight
center according to its horizontal and
vertical distance.
