We have been trying to determine the cause of the recent incidents in which the arms of the frame have become caught on the gallows on the flatbed. A common factor in these cases is that the driver was talking on the phone, had the volume turned up high in the cab, and had the window closed.
For most of us, this goes without saying, but we’re bringing it up again. Focus on your work and put your cell phone aside until you’ve finished your work on the flatbed, in the warehouse, and on the assembly line.
If the ground slopes slightly during unloading, you MUST, after releasing your arms, step up onto the crossbar and lower your arms; this eliminates any risk of your arms getting caught on the gallows as you drive forward.
In the event of repeated negligence regarding tie-downs and flatbeds, we will charge the driver in question a fine of 5,000 kronor to cover the cost of repairs.
