Mario Trailers specialises in crafting a diverse range of trailers, including versatile tipping trailers in Sydney designed to cater to various work environments and tasks. While these trailers offer convenience and efficiency, it’s crucial to understand and adhere to safety guidelines when operating a tipping trailer.
Loading Your Tipping Trailer
Loading any trailer, especially tipping trailers, demands adherence to fundamental rules. Begin by acquainting yourself with your trailer’s Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM), which represents its total weight when fully loaded yet detached from a towing vehicle. Maintaining the maximum carrying capacity of the tipping trailer is imperative to ensure safe and legal towing.
Proper load distribution is another crucial aspect that prevents swaying and maintains trailer stability during towing and unloading. Avoid stacking the load excessively high, and aim for a balance where approximately 60% of the cargo occupies the front half of the trailer, leaving the remaining 40% in the rear section. This equilibrium guarantees a secure and smooth journey when utilising your tipping trailer for various tasks.
Safe Unloading of a Tipping Trailer
Unloading a tipping trailer is generally straightforward, but it’s crucial to remember specific considerations to ensure your tipper’s efficient and safe operation.
- Check for Adequate Clearance: Before raising the trailer tray, confirm ample clearance to prevent any obstruction when lifting the tray.
- Verify Ground Stability: As lifting the tipper tray shifts the trailer’s centre of gravity, it’s essential to position the trailer on a relatively level and stable surface. Workplace incidents involving tipping trailers occur due to imbalance during tray elevation, causing it to tumble over its side. You can prevent this by parking the trailer on well-compacted, even ground.
- Maintain a Safe Distance: While raising or lowering the trailer tray, ensure you stand clear of the trailer body and hydraulic mechanism to avoid entanglement or injury. It’s advisable to avoid being beneath the tray when raised to prevent injury if it is lowered suddenly.
