Loading With Front End Loader
For fastest, most accurate loading, when being loaded by a front end loader, the
truck operator should stop his machine on the most level area and at an angle to
the face of the bank or stockpile. This minimizes loader travel time, particularly
with a raised, full bucket. Where possible, the truck should also locate downwind
of the loader when dusty material is being loaded on a windy day. This practice
improves both working conditions and visibility for the loader operator.
A cleanup dozer or small loader is often worked in conjunction with the main
loading machine to keep the area clear of bucket spillage for maximum efficiency
of the loading operation. The truck operator must always be alert to the position
of the cleanup machine when entering the loading area to avoid congestion, and,
for maximum safety.
The following precautions should be observed when approaching the loading
area and while being loaded -
Avoid rocks and other shovel spillage that can needlessly damage tyres or
other truck components. Allow the cleanup machine sufficient time to clear up
such debris.
Do not move the truck into loading position with the shovel bucket swinging
overhead. Large rocks that might fall from the bucket can be dangerous to both
the operator and the truck.
Keep your head and arms inside the cab during loading to avoid the danger of
falling rocks or other shovel spillage.
When the loader operator signals that the truck is loaded, sound two blasts on
the horn, select the correct gear and release the brakes. Move out of the loading
area and onto the haul road, with the least possible delay, to allow any waiting
truck to move into the loading position as soon as possible.
