movement. The number of securing elements (cables, straps, chains and stay etc.) and the
force necessary for their tensioning depends on a number of things, including weight of the
trailer, the construction of vehicle carrying trailer, speed of travel and other conditions. For
this reason it is impossible to define the securing plan precisely. A correctly secured trailer
does not change its position with regard to the transport vehicle. The securing elements must
be selected according to the guidelines of the Manufacturer of these elements. In case of
doubt apply a greater number of securing straps in order to immobilise the trailer. If
necessary, sharp edges of trailer should be protected at the same time protecting the
securing straps from breaking during transport.
During reloading work, particular care should be taken not to damage parts of the machine's
equipment or the paint coating. The tare weight of the trailer in condition ready for travel is
given in table (3.1).
DANGER
Incorrect use of securing measures may cause an accident.
