engaging loads
Discuss this with your contractor.
Recognising danger is half the battle!
• Loads consisting of loose
packaged items
must not be higher than the
upper edge of
the cab parapet.
• Loads may only be transported in appropri-
ate containers or safe packaging.
• The load must not change its gravity center
position or even fall down when acceler-
ating/ braking or when travelling in curves
(centrifugal force).
• If loads cannot be trans
ported with the
necessary safety, then
the safety has to
be brought about by usin
g appropriate
containers or fastenin
gs.
• Before engaging any load, ensure that it
does not exceed the loading capacity of
the truck (diagram of permissible loads) or
the maximum permissible dimensions as
specified by the data sheet.
• Loads which are to be transported and
placed in storage must be securely pack-
aged to ensure that the centre of gravity of
the load does not shift during transport, and
that no parts are able to drop out. Remem-
ber to pay sufficient attention to the safety of
your workmates.
• If very high loads have t
o be transported
which block the view of t
he travel path, the
relevant safety measur
es must be taken.
• The load suspension device must never be
used to raise hanging or suspended loads.
