Loading & Unloading Self-Propelled Machines
WARNING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE A TRAILER FOR TRANSPORT, MAKE SURE THE TRAILER
TOWING VEHICLE IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE TASK.
1) The trailer has a cargo weight rating capacity for the weight of the machine. The combined weight of
the trailer and the machine can not exceed the load capacity of the tires, axles, hitch coupler system or
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of the trailer.
2) The trailer must have a lighting system and a braking system to match and perform correctly off the
towing vehicle’s system. You must meet the Federal and your States’ Department of Transportation
Code of Regulations concerning lights, brakes, and highway transit.
3) Make sure the towing vehicle has the hauling and hitch capacity ratings for the trailer and machine
combination. The towing vehicle must be mechanically sound and capable of handling the towing job.
4) The trailer should be constructed with appropriate chain down positions for the specific sized machine.
You must have binders that will withstand the strain of the machine trying to move while it is
being transported.
5) When the machine is positioned on the trailer bed, there should be about 15% of the total trailer package
weight on the tongue or hitch.
6) The loading ramps or loading gate of the trailer must be constructed to withstand the weight and forces
involved in loading and unloading the machine.
WARNING
BEFORE LOADING OR UNLOADING THE MACHINE INSPECT AND CONFIRM THE FOLLOWING
STEPS:
When loading or unloading the self-propelled machine on the trailer, use care and caution. The
maneuvering of the equipment must be slow, smooth, and intentional, not fast and jerky.
1) Make sure the trailer and towing vehicle are parked on a flat surface. They must be stable on the
surface with the brakes locked and/or the wheels chocked to avoid unwanted movement.
) Position the loading ramps or loading gate securely between the trailer and the ground level. Have them
located so that they are in line with the tires or tracks of the machine when it moves.
) Remove and store the chains and binders used for transporting.
4) Confirm that there are not any obstacles on the trailer bed, around the trailer that may cause restricted
movement of the machine or the operator.
5) The only person in the area should be the one that is operating the machine controls, and he/she
should be very experienced with the controls on this machine.
6) If you are on streets, roads or public areas, position the warning cones etc, per your company’s safety policy.
7) Follow all pre-startup instructions for the machine.
8) Typically, the engine end of the machine should be positioned so that it is toward the tongue of the
trailer, during transport.
9) Align the machine with the trailer bed, and the loading ramps. The only equipment movement
should be slowly, straight on or straight off the trailer.
10) With the engine and the machine at as low a speed as possible, move the machine toward the
ramp system. Make sure the alignment is correct throughout the travel.
11) Properly secure the equipment and the area to avoid any possible accidents or dangers.
