High volume loads
High-volume loads (light loads with a high volume), such as hay, straw bales (rectangular or
round), green fodder, etc., are recommended to be loaded with the aid of appropriate
implements (bail grabs, forks etc.) or directly from suitable machines such as forage
harvesters or combine harvesters. The load may be loaded even higher than the load box
extensions but taking special care about trailer stability. Remember that the high load placed
on the trailer with the use of a special implement has very negative impact on the trailer
stability.
Loads in packaging
Loads transported in packaging (boxes, sacks) must be laid closely side-by-side beginning
from the front side of the trailer. If it is essential to lay several layers, particular groups should
be stacked alternately (in block system). The load must be laid tightly together and on the
whole surface of the trailer floor. Otherwise, the load will move during travel. Due to the trailer
design (the load box designed for the transport of agricultural crops and products, lack of
load securing points), materials in packaging may not be loaded above the top of the walls or
extensions of load box. A higher load layer may move during travel.
DANGER
If there is a danger of load packaging moving, do NOT transport this type of material. A
moving load constitutes a serious hazard during travel for the tractor driver and other
road users.
Materials which may cause corrosion of steel, chemical damage or react in any other way
negatively affecting the trailer structure may be transported only on condition of appropriate
load preparation. Materials must be tightly packed (in plastic foil sacks, plastic containers
etc.). During transport, packaging contents may not come into contact with load box.
Therefore, ensure the appropriate tightness of containers.
Final remarks
Due to diversity of materials, tools, methods of fixing and securing the load, it is impossible to
describe all methods of loading. While working be guided by caution and own experience.
The trailer user must carefully read the regulations concerning road transport and comply
with them.
