be transported in sealed packaging (sacks, boxes, barrels etc.); after completing the
transport, thoroughly wash the loading case with strong water jet.
When transporting loads which exert significant force in one spot of the loading case floor,
protect the floor by means of thick planks, plywood or other similar means.
ATTENTION
Attempt to place the load in the case in an uniform manner.
Never exceed the trailer's maximum allowable capacity.
Due to the various density of materials, using the total loading case capacity may cause
exceeding the permissible carrying capacity of the trailer. Guideline specific weight of
selected materials is presented in table (4.1) It is necessary to pay particular attention not to
