(2) Place chocks under the trailer head or wheels when use slope or loading platform to load or
unload.
(3) The slope should have enough width, length, and intensity. The obliquity of slope should be less
than 15 without fail.
(4) Loading platform must have plenty of width and intensity to support excavator, and the gradient
must be less than 15.
