DANGER
If it is necessary to carry permitted hazardous materials, acquaint yourself with the
regulations concerning transport of hazardous materials in force in the given country and
also the regulations of the ADR agreement.
Carefully read the information leaflets provided by the load manufacturer, and to observe
the instructions for transporting and handling the load. Ensure whether during loading
work it is necessary to apply additional personal protection (masks, rubber gloves etc.)
High volume loads
High-volume loads (light with a high volume), such as hay, straw bales - rectangular or round,
green fodder etc, are recommended to be loaded with the aid of the appropriate mechanical
fittings: bail grabs, forks etc. The load may be loaded even higher than the load box
extensions but taking care about trailer stability and proper securing and protection of load.
Remember that higher loading has a negative effect on trailer stability.
Loads in packaging
Loads transported in packaging (boxes, sacks), must be laid closely side-by-side beginning
from the front side of the trailer. If it is essential to lay several layers, particular groups should
be stacked alternately (in block system). The load must be laid tightly together and on the
whole surface of the trailer floor. Otherwise, during travel the load will move. With regard to
the trailer construction (adaptation of the load box to the transport of agricultural crops and
products, lack of load securing points), materials in packaging may not be loaded above the
top of the walls or extensions of load box. If the trailer is equipped with net extensions, the
height of the load may not exceed the upper edge of the sides. A higher load level may move
during travel and cause significant damage to the net extensions and the load may spill.
Materials which may cause corrosion of steel, chemical damage or react in any other way
negatively affecting the trailer structure may be transported only on condition of appropriate
load preparation. Materials must be tightly packed (in plastic foil sacks, plastic containers
etc.). During transport packaging contents may not come into contact with load box therefore
ensure the appropriate tightness of containers.
With regard to the diversity of materials, tools, means of securing and getting a load it is
impossible to describe all means of loading. While working be guided by caution and own
