WARNING
Should the vehicle be fitted with a tailgate. Cohesive material must not
be loaded into the body. There is a risk of injury to the driver if a tailgate
is used with a cohesive material.
Note: When loading the operator should be diligent and always aware of the
material which is to be loaded onto the vehicle. At any time, should he feel that a
load constitutes an obvious safety hazard, he has the right and duty to refuse to
load this onto the vehicle.
The most common methods of loading articulated trucks are with hydraulic
excavators, and front end loaders. The trucks can be loaded equally well from
the rear or the side using hydraulic excavators or rope shovels. Ideally,
excavators should require 90° or less swing. With a backhoe excavator a very
efficient loading method is with the backhoe on top of the bank loading over the
rear of the truck at the base of the bank. Backhoe slew angles can be small,
leading to very short cycle times.
WORKING THE TRUCK
Off-highway articulated trucks are used on a variety of hauling jobs, from sand
and gravel pits to road construction and mining. Every truck operation,
regardless of the type of job, can be divided into four phases; loading, hauling,
dumping and the empty return.
Note: After coming to a stop for loading or unloading the truck, the parking-
emergency brake control can be pushed in to hold the brakes in the applied
position as though the foot brake is depressed.
