3.02 Loading and transporting
N O T E
Observe all regulations when loading and transporting the
machine to and from its place of use!
Regulations and Provisions
When loading rollers onto trucks, trailers or semitrailers, it is essential
to secure the machine properly on the carrying vehicle. The duty for
tie-down on street vehicles arises from StVO § 22, StVO § 23, StVZO
§ 30, StVZO § 31, HGB § 412 as well as from VDI guideline 2700 or
other national requirements. Loading and transporting the machine
requires sufficient knowledge about the loading of vehicles and their
behavior under load. The machine may only be loaded by trained loading
personnel. The machine must be fixed or stowed in transport-safe
way to the vehicle by an form-locked or friction-locked manner or by a
combination with friction. The machine must not change its position on
the vehicle during normal traffic loads. Typical transport stresses also
include emergency braking, evasive manoeuvres and unevenness of the
road. If it is impossible to secure the machine properly onto the vehicle,
or if the loading vehicle shows visible defects which do not ensure safe
transport, loading must not be performed. This condition or requirement
also applies to too little or damaged lashing tackle.
The transport company involved is always responsible for the safe
transport of the machine and accessories.
