SELF-CHECK: The hydraulic arms must ALWAYS be FULLY lowered when the machine is shut down
It is critical that the hydraulic arms are FULLY lowered when unloading a load from the crossbar. This is because, despite the clearance between the hydraulic arm and the gate (see top image), the trailer and/or flatbed may wobble when parked. This usually happens on rough surfaces, but can occur in other situations as well. […]
Examples of good pre-closing
Below is a good example of load securing that includes both cross-ties, front, side, and rear fastenings, as well as edge protection! Study and learn.
The right notice!
Hi! Don’t forget to wear the proper high-visibility vest! If you have any questions about what you can or cannot wear, please contact traffic control or your supervisor.
Hanger – Double Gate or Double Flap
When transporting elements on a flatbed trailer with double gates or driving a double-deck trailer, you must always remember to secure the cargo at the front that is resting against the rear gate or crossbar. Also consider the center of gravity of the elements mounted on the rear gate/hanger. If the elements are tall and […]

Here, however, the decision was made to move the sections toward the center supports using only cross-lashing. According to the driver, this was done at the shipper’s request […]

SELF-INSPECTION – Serious incident: wall collapsed!
Due to inadequate SELF-INSPECTION, we had a serious incident this week in which a wall toppled over at a construction site. The wall was standing on a truck bed that had been parked at the site without the driver having performed a self-inspection. At some point during loading, transport, or parking, the wall had shifted […]
Caution: Slippery!
Slippery conditions prevail in large parts of Sweden, so we would like to remind you to drive carefully. This applies not only to driving but also to taking extra precautions to secure your load if necessary. Unloading times are secondary, but be sure to notify both the construction site and traffic control well in advance […]
