Transporting pallets
As a rule, loads (e.g. pallets) must be transpor-
ted individually. Transporting multiple loads at
the same time is only permitted:
• when instructed by the supervisor and
• when the technical requirements have been
met.
The driver must ensure proper condition of
the load. Only safely and carefully positioned
loads may be transported.
