This loading configuration will result in a width of approximately 2.04m with 800mm height
per layer. The overall height of the loaded vehicle will vary depending upon the trailer height.
In addition to the barrier, and in accordance with Australian transportation requirements,
layers of steal cannot be transported without non-metal separation. In this case, the usage of
100mm x 100mm timber dunnage is recommended, however the use of other non-metal
separation material is acceptable.
3.3 Loading – Unloading Sequence
The loading of each layer consists of identifying the deployment start point.
Deployment from leading terminal (this is the standard). The Defender 100LDS™ units are
loaded with the MALE end to the rear of the truck and the FEMALE end toward the front of the
truck.
1. Base layer of 9 units is loaded
2. Timber dunnage is installed
nd
3. 2
layer of 9 units is loaded
4. Timber dunnage is installed
rd
5. 3
layer of 9 units is loaded
The unloading of the truck is done from the rear and done by unloading the full top layer, then
nd
moving to the 2
layer, and finally the bottom layer.
When un/loading ensure site safety rules are adhered. Special consideration should be given
to the proximity of overhead cables. Ensure that slings/chains used are rated to lift the weight
and have been serviced.
The direction of approach to the site will also affect the barrier loading arrangement. If
delivering to site for installation in the same direction as traffic flow, load the barriers with the
female end to the front of the truck and the male end to the rear of the truck. If delivering to
site for installation against the traffic flow, load the barriers with the male end to the front of
the truck and the female end to the rear of the truck. This will allow the installation to
continue without the need to rotate any of the units during placement.
