FIGURE 4.6 Chute
(1) slide gate, (2) chute, (3) lever, (4) locking bolt
The rear wall of the loading case is equipped with a slide gate (1) – figure (4.6) – and the
chute (2) (optional equipment) which is used for unloading loose materials. The chute design
allows for very accurate metering of the material to packaging (sacks, boxes etc).
The opening gap size can be controlled by means of a lever (3). In order to do so, loosen the
bolt interlocking the slide gate (4), open the slide to a required height and lock again using
the bolt. When unloading material through the chute, do not open wall locks or wall extension
locks. The loading case must be tipped very slowly and without jerking. Raising the loading
case quickly will exert large pressure on its rear part due to displacement of the material and
can compromise the trailer's stability.
Be careful while unloading volumetric materials. Do not tip the loading case on uneven or wet
ground; do not move and jerk the trailer during unloading. Volumetric materials are usually
