Transportation over truck or trailer
Marchesan does not advise the equipment traffic on highways, because this
practice involves serious risks in addition to being prohibited by the current
existing traffic law. The transportation for long distances should be done on
truck, trailer or others by following these safety guidelines:
• Use adequate ramps to load or unload the equipment. Do not make the loading
on ditch banks, it can cause a serious accident.
• When lifting with a hoist, use the appropriate points to lift.
• Fasten the moving parts that may get loose and cause accidents.
• Underpin the equipment appropriately.
• Use chock blocks and safety chains to secure the equipment to the truck or
trailer during the transport.
• Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign, and all the lights and reflectors
that are required by the local highway and transport autorithies are in place,
are clean and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming traffic.
• After 8 to 10 km transporting, please inspect the load condition. Repeat this
procedure every 80 to 100 km. Give more attention when transporting the
equipment on rough roads, slopes and other adverse conditions.
• Always be careful with the load height, especially when passing under electrical
power lines, bridges and others.
• Check all laws and regulations regarding the height limits and load width while
transporting the equipment on truck or trailer. If necessary use banners, lights
and other devices in order to give adequate warning to the other drivers.
