Transportation of bulky equipment is a complex and responsible business that requires a special approach. Even if you have the equipment necessary to transport the tractor at hand, you cannot just load it and drive - you need to take into account some of the nuances.
It is necessary
- - equipment for transportation;
- - loader (crane);
- - chains;
- - packing material.
Instructions
Step 1
Please note that transporting a tractor requires special equipment - a car with a low loader platform, universal or special wagons. You can transport the tractor on a semitrailer with gangways (ramps). If the tractor is out of order, take care of a loader crane that can carry out both loading and unloading at the point of arrival. In some cases, the obligatory presence of a conductor is required, who accompanies the equipment and is responsible for its safety.
Step 2
Consider the weight and dimensions of the tractor when choosing a carrier. Please note that if the total height of the vehicle together with the tractor is more than 4 meters, a permit for the transportation of oversized cargo is required. To lower the height slightly, lower the wheels and remove the exhaust pipe. This is especially convenient if the truck is equipped with a removable roof.
Step 3
Before loading, check the functionality of the tractor brake system. After the tractor is installed on the platform, brake it so that self-braking cannot occur, drain the water. Lock and lock securely all swivel and movable parts. Additionally secure the tractor with chains (do not use ropes as they can stretch).
Step 4
If you are transporting the tractor in open rolling stock, unaccompanied, remove and pack separately easily removable units and parts (mirrors, snow plows, etc.). In addition, pack all fragile parts, unprotected electric and gas motors, batteries. It is possible not to defend the details, but in this case it is necessary to indicate in the contract who will be responsible for the battle and the consequences.
Step 5
Think over the route of movement. If rail transportation is carried out all year round, then there are some restrictions for road transport. For example, roads are closed in spring during thaw periods, and you need a special permit to transport a tractor. Moreover, if you plan to transport equipment from one republic to another, buy a permit immediately for all intersected subjects of the federation.
Step 6
Please note that not every road can support the combined weight of a truck and a tractor, so when planning your route, choose wide roads without restrictions on weight and height.
