Loading - PRONAR T780 Translation Of The Original Instructions

4.4 LOADING

Before beginning loading it is necessary to make certain that the load box side walls and
slide gates are properly closed and secured. 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. If the trailer is equipped with canvas cover, it should be
rolled to the right. If load does not exert pressure on the side walls or extension walls, the
linking cable can be disengaged. In other cases it must be attached to middle stakes of walls
and wall extensions. Walls can be damaged if there is no linking cable.
Load should be distributed evenly in load box. Depending on type of load, it is necessary to
use the appropriate equipment (crane, loader, foreloader etc.).Loading should be carried out
by a person experienced in this type of work and having appropriate authorisation for
operating equipment (if required). 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.
