- building materials, mineral fertilisers and mineral mixtures cause damage to trailer construction and/or paint
coating and cause the creation of corrosion points
With regard to the various density of materials, using the total load box capacity may cause
exceeding permissible weight limit of hook trailer.
Guideline specific weight of selected
materials shown in table (4.2). It is necessary to pay particular attention not to overload the
trailer.
Light materials with a large volume (hay, round or rectangular bales, straw, green fodder
etc.), maybe loaded even above the edge of the load box extension walls paying particular
attention to trailer stability. Regardless of the type of load carried, the user is obliged to
secure it in such a manner that the load is unable to spread and cause contamination of the
road.
Construction materials can be transported using the trailer provided the load box is properly
prepared. In order to do that lay thick plywood, hard particle board, thick planks or other
materials of similar properties on the load box platform. Side walls and optionally load box
extension walls should be protected in a similar manner. Non-compliance with these
requirements could lead to dents in the load box platform or its walls, scratching of painted
surfaces and could give rise to ingress of corrosion. Non-compliance with the instructions
provided could invalidate the guarantee.
Mineral fertilisers and other materials, which by having contact with painted or steel surfaces
may cause damage, are recommended to be carried in sealed packing (sacks, boxes, drums,
