Using ramps
–
Ramps such as: Drive-up ramps / tracks, ramp walls
make loading and unloading easier.
–
Ramps are designed to be suitable for the type of trailer
depending on the load.
–
Ramps are not designed for point loads.
You will find how to use loading ramps in the
operating manual for your type of trailer Part 2.
Driving on the loading ramps with e.g. Pallet trucks
or cherry pickers is not permitted - these cause a
point load which is too high due to their small
wheels.
WARNING
Overloading ramps!
Driving on the ramps may cause a loss of stability and may
break them.
They could fall off during the loading / unloading process -
risk of being knocked / crushed!
Do not put more weight on the ramps than the max.
permitted - see load data on the label in the operating
instructions Part 2 for the respective type of trailer.
Before loading, ensure that the maximum carrying
capacity is not exceeded by the load / vehicle to be
loaded.
Do not drive with a deformed ramp - replace any faulty
ramps immediately.
