Loading should be carried out by a person experienced in this type of work and having
appropriate authorisation for operating equipment (if required).
Loose bulk material
Loading bulk materials is normally conducted with the use of loaders or conveyors and
possibly loading manually. Do not load bulk materials to a height greater than that of side
walls or extensions. On completion of loading, the load should be evenly spread over the
whole surface of the load box.
Oilseed rape or seeds of other plants of very small size or powder materials can be
transported provided the load box is properly sealed in places where gaps are bigger than
the seed diameter or other carried material. Profiled rubber seals, silicone sealers, plastic
wrap, rope or textile materials are recommended materials to provide sealing of the load box.
Additionally, it is recommended to protect the load with tarpaulin cover. It protects the load
against spilling during travel, being blown away by the wind and also protects load against
moisture. This is particularly dangerous in the case of bulk materials. They may absorb a
significant amount of water, which may increase the bulk of the load during travel. In extreme
cases the gross weight of the trailer may exceed the permissible vehicle gross weight.
Some bulk loads (e.g. building materials, such as gravel or slag) may cause more rapid
damage to paintwork.
Loads of pieces or solid lumps
Loads of pieces or solid lumps are generally hard materials of significantly greater
dimensions than bulk loads (stones, coal, bricks and ballast). These materials without prior
preparation of the load box may cause indentation of the floor or sidewalls and abrasion of
paintwork. To provide necessary protection, lay thick plywood, hard particle board, thick
planks or other materials of similar properties on the load box platform and possibly sidewalls
and extensions. Non-compliance with the instructions provided could invalidate the warranty.
