4.11 Transporting The Machine On A Trailer
Figure 4.24
– Transporting Machine On A Trailer
Before transporting a machine (potentially plus tractor), measure the height and width dimensions and gross
weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for the
areas that will be travelled through during transit.
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and equipment to transport the tractor and machine. Consult an
authorized dealer to determine the proper equipment required. Using adequately sized chains, heavy duty
straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie down both the front and rear of the machine.
Arrange the straps so that when tightened, the straps are pulling downward and against themselves. Carefully
tighten the securing strap or other fasteners to apply maximum tension and to ensure that no machine
components get damaged. Use extreme care when attaching and removing the securing devices as the extreme
tension involved when released has the potential to inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement, make occasional stops to check that the machine has not moved or
shifted and that the securing devices have maintained tension. If during transport a hard braking, sharp turning
or swerving action was performed, stop at the next safe location to inspect the security of the load.
