When a truck is to be transported, it must be secured at the
defined transportation points. All trucks are to be secured by a
strap across the forks. If the truck has an overhead guard or a
mast that is higher than 2.5 m, a strap must also be secured
over the overhead guard/mast. Chocks can be placed against
the chassis in every direction to prevent rolling or sliding.
