Load Retention and Sheeting
The method of load retention will depend on the type of load being carried:
Fluid loads:
Sheeting the load with a high strength waterproof Tarpaulin is the best form of
retention especially for a dry powdery load. This will prevent the load being
blown from the vehicle and prevent the load becoming waterlogged and
thereby potentially overloading the vehicle.
The body is supplied with roping points at the end of each body crossbearer
under the floor. These should be used to tie off any Tarpaulins that envelope
the body sides. Once fitted, the Tarpaulin should be restrained by high quality
nylon rope, (minimum 6mm Diameter) specifically designed for Commercial
Vehicle use.
CORRECT LOAD
DISTRIBUTION
INCORRECT LOAD DISTRIBUTION
