Due to various densities of materials, the use of the total load box capacity may lead to
exceeding permissible carrying capacity of the trailer. Guideline specific weight of selected
materials is given in table (4.1). Take care not to overload the trailer.
When loading goods on euro pallets and pallet boxes, pay special attention to load
distribution on the platform. Pallets must be secured against the displacement on the
platform. Pallets must not be stacked in layers.
