paintwork. In order to protect it, lay thick plywood, hard particle board, thick planks or other
materials of similar properties on the load box platform and possibly on walls and wall

Loading of material in pieces or solid lumps must be from a low height. The load must not fall

hazardous materials, the transport of this type of load (defined in detailed by this agreement)
is forbidden with the use of agricultural trailers. The only exception are plant protection

condition that they are transported in the appropriate packaging and in quantities envisaged
by the ADR agreement.
