1.10 Loading and transporting
Regulations and Provisions When loading rollers onto lorries, trailers or semitrailers, it is obligatory to
secure the load properly.
The laws, regulations, guidelines and standards applicable at the place of
use must be observed.
Sufficient knowledge about the loading of vehicles as well as about
their behaviour under load are required for loading and transporting the
machine. The machine may only be loaded by trained loading staff. The
machine must be fixed or stowed in transport-safe way to the vehicle by
an form-locked or friction-locked manner or by a combination of both.
The machine must not change its position on the vehicle during normal
traffic loads. Typical transport stresses also include emergency braking,
evasive manoeuvres and unevenness of the road. If it is impossible to
secure the machine properly onto the vehicle, or if the loading vehicle
shows visible defects which do not ensure safe transport, loading must
not be performed. This condition or requirement also applies to too little
or damaged lashing tackle.
The transport company involved is always responsible for the safe
transport of the machine and accessories.
Loading instructions When loading please observe the following instructions:
■
Adhere to section Transport as specified in the safety instructions.
■
Note the weight and dimensions (see page 133 et seq.).
■
Observe the legally required maximum height.
■
Only use approved gantries or planks that are provided with an
antiskid coating. Never drive with metal on metal.
■
Gantries, planks and loading areas must be swept clean and free of
grease, dirt and ice etc. Clean roller drums and tyres prior to driving
on the gantries. Please ensure a friction factor is µ ≥ 0.6, e.g. by use
of anti-slide mats.
■
Either remove every loose or movable part in or at the machine, or
secure such parts separately.
■
In case of rollers with articulated steering, the safety strut must
always be activated for transport.
■
Remove wedges and lashing devices completely before unloading.
Unblock steering system by unblocking the safety strut.
■
Drive the roller slowly and carefully from the loading area.
