Loading the Semitrailer
1.
Set the semitrailer up for loading as outlined in
“Preparation for Loading and Unloading” on
page 3-11.
2.
Drive the load onto the semitrailer. Insure that the
load is steering straight up onto the semitrailer and
does not maneuver off the side of the semitrailer.
Load a stationary load by means of a forklift, crane,
or other means satisfactory to the constitution of the
load. Position the load accordingly for proper weight
distribution.
3.
Chain the load down in accordance with instructions
in
“Securing the Load” on page 3-13.
Securing the Load
WARNING
1.
All items of the semitrailer load must be securely tied
to the deck, front and rear, using the D-rings on the
semitrailer frame. The load must be tied with chain or
ratchet straps sufficient to withstand the weight of the
load using standard approved tiedown methods.
2.
No slack is allowed in the tie down chains or straps.
Use binders with chains or a ratchet type buckle on
straps to eliminate any slack in the tiedowns.
IMPORTANT
More information about cargo securement may be
found at
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/cargosecurement.pdf.
Remember that regulations vary from state to state.
for state regulations, see
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/webstate.htm.
Do not allow slack in tiedowns. A shifting load
may create enough momentum to break hi-test
chains or strap ties. Slack in tiedowns may result
in damage to the load, and death or serious injury
to persons near the load.
