4.11
Regardless of the type of load carried, the user is obliged to secure it in such a manner that
the load is unable to spread and cause contamination of the road. Prior to moving off, check
if the tailgate's protection is closed properly.
Due to diversity of materials, tools, methods of fixing and securing the load, it is impossible to
describe all methods of loading. While working be guided by caution and own experience.
The trailer user must carefully read the regulations concerning road transport and comply
with them.
Due to the various density of materials, using the total load box capacity may cause
exceeding permissible carrying capacity of the trailer. Guideline specific weight of selected
materials is shown in table (4.1). Take care not to overload the trailer.
