Trucks, agricultural machinery, bulldozers and other large or heavy vehicles can also be transported by platform or open-top containers.
When transporting by platform container, secure the vehicle in place, nailing a strong wooden frame to the container floor around the bottom of the vehicle.
Then attach steel turnbuckles or chains. Vehicles transported in open-top containers should be secured with blocks or wedges in front and behind each wheel. The height of the wedges should be at least one-third the radius of the wheel. Reinforce the side walls of the container and support the vehicle against the walls with braces to prevent transverse movement. Secure with heavy steel bands or wire attached to the wheels or axles. |
