4.3 LOADING AND SECURING LOAD

4.3.1 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT LOADING

The trailer is designed for transport of harvested crops and agricultural products in the form
of pressed bales or blocks, at the farm and on public roads. The machine is also designed for
transport of harvested crops and agricultural products transported on pallets.
The trailer must be positioned to travel forwards and be hitched to the tractor. Loading should
only take place, when trailer is placed on flat level surface and hitched to tractor. Before
loading, check the technical condition of linking cables or chains and correctness of their
attaching to the ladders and trailer frame. Do not load or drive the trailer with damaged linking
cables or chains. It is recommended to unload the trailer using a loader, conveyor or forklift
truck. Keep a safe distance during loading and unloading. Do not allow anyone to approach
the place where works are carried out.
Load should be uniformly distributed along the length and width of the platform in order to
ensure proper distribution of axle loads and proper stability of the trailer. Load must not
extend beyond the outline of the load platform. Number of load layers depends on size of
pressed bales or blocks, their arrangement on the load platform and their weight. However,
the permissible loading height defined by the road traffic regulations and permissible design
load of the trailer must not be exceeded. When loading goods on pallets pay special attention
to load distribution on the platform. Pallets must be secured against the displacement on the
platform. Pallets must not be stacked in layers.
IMPORTANT!
Do NOT exceed the trailer's maximum carrying capacity.
Load placed on the platform must be uniformly distributed and properly
secured.
While driving on public roads the extendible frame must be retracted.
The load must be arranged in such a way that it does not threaten the stability
of the trailer, and does not hinder driving.
