Transportation Use Of Lifting Equipment

Lifting and lashing equipment are essential for safe and secure land transportation of heavy cargo. 

1. General Steps to Use Lifting and Lashing Equipment

Select the right lifting and lashing equipment: Choose the equipment that can handle the weight and size of the cargo. Make sure the equipment is in good condition and can handle the load safely.

Prepare the cargo: Before lifting or lashing, make sure the cargo is properly packaged and balanced. Use pallets, straps, and other materials to ensure the cargo is secure and does not shift during transportation.

Position the lifting and lashing equipment: Position the equipment in the correct location for lifting or lashing. Make sure the equipment is stable and secure.

Lifting the cargo: Use the lifting equipment, such as a crane or forklift, to lift the cargo onto the truck bed. Make sure the equipment is positioned correctly and the load is balanced.

Lashing the cargo: Use lashing equipment, such as chains, ropes, or straps, to secure the cargo to the truck bed. Make sure the lashing equipment is strong enough to hold the cargo in place and does not damage the cargo.

Check the cargo and equipment: Before transportation, inspect the cargo and equipment to make sure everything is secure and in good condition. Double-check the lashing to ensure it is tight and will not come loose during transportation.

Transport the cargo: Drive the truck slowly and carefully, avoiding sudden stops or turns that could shift the cargo. If necessary, check the cargo and lashing periodically during transportation to ensure everything remains secure.

Unloading the cargo: Use the lifting equipment to lower the cargo from the truck bed. Make sure the equipment is positioned correctly and the load is balanced before lifting. Use caution when removing the lashing equipment to avoid injury or damage to the cargo.
