(6.) LOADING DUCTILE IRON PIPE


Make sure that loading surface on trailer is free from any debris.

If debris is on deck it could fall off in transport and damage a car or injury a person.

Take a quick look at deck. Sweep or shovel if needed in winter. Salt may be needed if there is ice present. Check condition of trailer (tires and planking).

Place bunks (skids) across loading surface even distances from where the centerline of the pipe will be.

If pipe is placed unevenly on bunks the weight distribution will be off and pipe could slide.

Use markings on the side of the trailer to help.

Keep the pipe centered on the loading surface.

If the pipe is not centered on the truck/trailer you will have too much weight on one side, which is a tipping hazard and could cause load shifts.

Use your best judgment on centering the pipe, reposition bunks if off the first time. Nail chock blocks where the last piece of pipe will rest on each bunk.

Go get the pipe, be sure that it is centered on your forks and the bells are offset.

If forks aren’t tilted back the pipe could roll off the front. If pipe isn’t centered on your forks the pipe could slide to the heavy side.

Ensure the forks are opened as much as possible and tilted as much as possible. Look at the stack of pipe before lifting to ensure that it is even. Reposition before lifting if it is not even.

Carry pipe to trailer. Damage to property or injury if path isn’t clear. Tipping of forklift.

As you travel to trailer make sure the area is clear. Carry load as low to ground as practical and travel slowly.
