Heavy materials in rolls must not shift or move during transport. When loading open containers, tie the rolls together in pairs, securing each pair with large wooden blocks nailed to the floor.
Reinforce the ends of the container with lateral supports built up to the height of the center of the rolls. Fill any empty spaces with wood. Extremely large or heavy rolls should be placed horizontally on a base that can be anchored, either fixed in position or with limited slippage through friction devices. Secure the roll to the base with steel bands or wire rope and turnbuckles.
When stowing rolls on platform containers, use heavy duty wooden cradles, and tie the rolls together in pairs. Secure each roll to the platform, tying it down through its center hole. |
