Proper cargo placement during cargo transportation

On the wave of sequential deterioration of the road surface and tightening of the control over the transshipment of transport (recall that not only check the total mass, but also the load on the axle), we have to think about how to properly place the load in the body in order to ensure safe transportation and not To run into penalties. Since the qualification of the personnel at the loading point often leaves much to be desired, the driver with the freight forwarder should monitor the process and stop all attempts to “drop the body in a fast way.”

But control is half the battle. It is also important to develop the correct loading scheme, to think through the sequence of detour of loading points, if there are several of them. A living example is the transportation of different building materials from several warehouses to one recipient or the delivery of products from one base to the city’s shops. Logists come into play here. With the help of special programs for calculating the mass and volume of different goods, maps and own experience, they carefully think through all the points, following several rules.

Stable fixation of different loads

Heavy objects always fit on the lower tier, light and fragile on them. Thus, it is possible to lower the center of gravity of the body, to avoid instability and roll on corners, to keep the cargo intact. The trailer is loaded evenly along the sides in order to achieve the best balance.
Too it is impossible to load the front part – this is fraught with problems with controllability. If there is a skewed mass on the rear axle, stability suffers. You in fact time and again saw on a line of a truck with the semitrailer which “throws” on all road and strives to touch other cars ?! Such a car and overtake is terrible, not to mention the risk of a collision, when on the next pit there will be a disengagement of the SSU.

When transporting heavy objects with a circular cross section (pipes, rolls, etc.), they must be fixed from rolling by corners, which any specialist can produce. Otherwise, the load will loosen the body. Household appliances, collected furniture and other items with different levels of the center of gravity are fixed with straps.

As you can see, in principle there is nothing difficult in the matter of distributing cargo on the body. It requires only experience, an idea of ​​the nature of the items being transported, the ability to plan the route and control over loading and unloading operations. Moments associated with the transport of dangerous goods, we did not consider; There are a lot of nuances, depending on the type of objects or liquids.
