Trailer Loading
Loads must be securely tied down or restrained.
Wherever possible, loads should be evenly distributed across the trailer and positioned in such a way as to keep the nose weight within the recommended limits.
If uneven loads have to be carried, ensure that individual wheels/axles are not overloaded. It may be necessary to reduce the overall load to achieve this.
