Load Exchanger – Vertical Element

Here's what you'll learn

Belt conveyors are an efficient and safe means of transport suitable for upright items. In this training course, you will learn about many of the potential risks involved and how to avoid them. All of this is aimed at making the transport as safe as possible.

Driving a flatbed truck

Our transport operations are largely based on the “bygel” concept, and to a large extent, we avoid spending time on loading and unloading, which means we can often complete quite a few trips each day. However, there is a tendency to cut corners on certain essential safety measures in order to save time. That is why we have put together a training program and instructional video that highlight these procedures. The goal is for these procedures to become second nature to those who transport goods, thereby eliminating the risks that would otherwise arise.

Hooklift Truck – Handling Vertical Elements

At Mantum, we are committed to eliminating incidents and accidents in an already high-risk working environment. As part of this commitment, we are investing in e-learning programs to ensure that drivers, loading personnel, and installers across Sweden have the knowledge and awareness needed to prevent and manage common workplace incidents.

How do you mark that the SELF-CHECK has been performed correctly?

1. By using the SELF-CHECK band placed clearly across the load

2. Send an SMS to traffic control

3. It's enough that you know it yourself

2 / 8

SELF-CHECK – what are you checking for?

1. That the walls sit flush against the headboard, both top and bottom, and haven't slipped out of the brackets

2. Check that the walls are clean so the haulier avoids a penalty fee

3. That I haven't left any posts behind at the loading site

3 / 8

Cross-lashing is always the starting point for load securing. In cases where that’s not possible, you must carry out a thorough risk assessment and secure the load in what way instead?

1. Anti-tip secure all the way to the nearest stake pocket

2. Use only overall lashing

3. It's enough to secure only the middle wall

4 / 8

What method can be used for anti-tip securing at the rear besides a halter?

1. Secure with blocks

2. It's not needed since the friction is sufficient

3. Place the broom in the nearest stake pocket

5 / 8

Place the broom in the nearest stake pocket

1. All walls, always

2. Only the outermost ones

3. Only the middle one

6 / 8

What is the best way to anti-tip secure all elements at the rear?

1. Chain, blocks, halter, posts, or other suitable method

2. Overall lashing is enough

3. You don't need to anti-tip secure all the elements

7 / 8

Why is it important to push the clamps firmly against the load?

1. So the walls don't tip sideways

2. So the elements can't migrate backward

3. It creates extra work time and therefore extra revenue in loading time

8 / 8

Why is it important that the elements sit flush against the bracket?
(Multiple answers can be selected)

1. So that the brackets grip the elements as much as possible

2. So the elements can't gain forward momentum during braking or a collision

3. So that as much load as possible fits on the platform
