2.2. LOADING THE TRAILER
General information
Loading bulk goods
The stability of the trailer, during driving as well as unloading, is determined to a large
extent by the way in which the trailer is loaded. It is therefore important to ensure the
load is evenly spread at all times.
The lateral connections between the side walls contribute to the stability and stur-
diness of the trailer. Ensure that these are always attached during transport. During
loading as well as unloading, the trailer must be coupled to the tractor.
Always ensure the load is evenly spread.
The moving floor system does not need to be used for loading the trailer with bulk
goods. This can be done using conventional bulk loading techniques. This means that:
• the roof nets or roof sheet are opened,
• the doors remain closed,
• the load is loaded into the trailer body from above,
• the moving floor system is not used.
The lateral connections of the side walls should always be fastened when loading bulk
material.
The positions of the lateral connections are indicated by arrows. This in order to avoid
damaging them when loading bulk goods.
For loading pallets or other non-bulk material (e.g. paper rolls), the moving floor system is used. A section of the load
or one or two pallets are placed at the rear end of the floor using a fork lift truck. The system then transports the load
into the trailer.
When the trailer is being used for transporting pallets, the pallets should be clean underneath (no nails, ...). Disposa-
ble pallets must be avoided (bottom planks are too flimsy or load is poorly distributed when the pallets are heavily loa-
ded). For poor quality pallets, a plank of 27 to 30 mm thickness and a length of approx. 2 metres should be applied
underneath the pallets, at each end, at a right angle to the slats of the loading floor.
Loading by using the Cargo Floor
®
system
The control unit for the moving floor system is fitted with a stop which allows the
system to be switched off immediately. Once the stop has been deactivated, operation
may be continued immediately.
To load the trailer using the moving floor system, proceed as follows:
• Ensure the trailer is positioned correctly.
• On a trailer with barn doors, open these doors and fasten them using the safety devices (see § 6.1).
• Check whether the hydraulic couplings of the tractor and trailer are clean.
• Connect the hydraulic couplings between the tractor and trailer in the correct manner.
• Start the tractor motor, switch on the PTO/pump and increase the power.
• Switch on the tractor lights in order to supply electrical power to the trailer.
• For trailers with hydraulically operated top swinging doors, open the top swinging door (see § 6.2.1) and lastly
pull the lever on the distributor on the bulkhead to position “2”.
• Position part of the load or one or two pallets using a fork lift truck at the rear end of the plank flooring.
• Remove the control unit for the moving floor system from its storage area.
Figure 2.2.5.a. – CF8 control unit
• Push the middle switch (I) on the CF8 control unit. The switch should be held in this position manually.
• The floor will start up.
• Once the load in the trailer has reached the required position, release switch I.
• Load the remainder of the trailer as described above.
• When the full load has been loaded, store the control unit for the moving floor system in its storage area.
Cease loading when the first row of pallets has reached the bulkhead. In this way ex-
cessive pressure of the floor system against the bulkhead via the load can be avoided.
For trailers with barn doors:
• Switch off the PTO/pump.
• Switch off the tractor lights.
• Drive a few metres forward if necessary so that the doors may be closed.
• Disconnect the hydraulic couplings between the tractor and trailer. Store the hoses in a safe place and ensure
they are secured.
• Close the trailer doors (see D 6.1).dat ze vast gemaakt zijn.
