  1. SAFELY LOADING & UNLOADING FLATBED TRAILERS  Horse Float and Trailer Repairs

  2. Loading and unloading flatbed trailers must be done correctly to avoid dangerous accidents and serious injuries. • If you overload or improperly load a trailer, you could lose control of it as you are transporting the load. https://hftr.com.au/

  3. General Safety Tips • A safety-first approach is the best way to prevent damages and injuries, making it the best policy. • Flatbed trailer safety has some unique challenges, but there are general safety tips that apply to multiple procedures. • Be Aware of Your Surroundings • Avoid distractions and don’t hurry.  • Watch your step when working on or around the truck. • Be attentive to your surroundings and hazards. https://hftr.com.au/

  4. A backup camera provides peace of mind and can prevent damages to your flatbed trailer and vehicle when reversing. • Being able to see what’s behind you and in your blind spots makes maneuvering through tight spaces like parking lots, narrow roads, and neighborhoods easier and safer for everyone. • It also allows for precision and accuracy of movement to be able to perform tasks like hitching a trailer or navigating around obstacles. • A backup camera will help you protect your flatbed trailer and everyone around you. https://hftr.com.au/

  5. Use PPE • Personal protective equipment is what it sounds like— gear or clothing designed to minimize the wearer’s exposure to hazards. • Always wear gloves to protect your hands when loading cargo or securing a load.  • Wear proper footwear with slip-resistant soles and steel toes, and ensure it’s made of puncture-resistant material. https://hftr.com.au/

  6. Preparing a Flatbed Trailer for Loading • An important step for preparing a flatbed trailer for safe loading and unloading includes making sure the trailer is stabilized.  • Unrestrained trucks can creep forward due to movement entering and exiting the trailer. • Make sure chocks are put in place to prevent the trailer from creeping forward. • If the vehicle is on a slope, you’re more likely to experience difficulties or accidents and injuries while loading and unloading the trailer.  https://hftr.com.au/

  7. Flatbed Trailer Unloading  • Unloading procedures will vary from load to load, depending on what you are transporting. • It might require machinery to remove, or it may have to be done by hand.  • Using a Flatbed Trailer Ladder- If you have to access the bed of your trailer to handle the cargo to adjust position, secure it, or to handle unloading, use a portable safety ladder. Using one of these safety devices can benefit you in many ways. It will ensure that you do not fall while climbing up and down your trailer. The ladder eliminates the need to use the tires or other areas of the truck to get to the load you are carrying.  https://hftr.com.au/
