Transportation of bulk cargo is a fairly common service, without which it is now difficult to imagine carrying out various works in the field of construction and installation. In addition, this type of transportation is often used in other areas of activity, such as agriculture.
A bulk cargo is a homogeneous mass that has a specific characteristic - flowability. This feature is the basis for the division of cargo into two types: bulk and bulk (special equipment and machinery is required for its loading and unloading).
Its movement has several peculiarities. The carrier must be fully aware of the rules of cargo transportation, which help in the future to eliminate all errors that lead to unnecessary costs. For violation of these instructions, you can receive penalties, as well as incur serious losses, including the loss of the transportation object itself.
The rules for the transportation of such goods include:
-
Loading should be carried out in such a way that the cargo does not spill over the edges of the containers of the transport (truck, wagon or dump truck).
-
Containers must be covered, as such substances can spill onto the roadway. For this, a durable tarpaulin is usually used, which is mounted on the sides of the body, wagon or other container.
-
It is forbidden to transport bulk cargo if a car or other vehicle (more about modes of transport) can cause the delivery item to be lost or spilled onto the road.
-
Due to the peculiarities of such cargo, its transportation is possible only in specialized automobile containers.
-
It is forbidden to transport bulk materials by road without appropriate packaging.
-
When choosing a suitable vehicle, types of loading should be taken into account: side, rear, top. After all, the safety of transportation depends on them.
-
For a material such as cement, a special transportation plan must be drawn up, since this substance requires special storage conditions. It must be protected primarily from rain and other atmospheric phenomena.
Compliance with all these rules will save the cargo from unforeseen situations and various troubles.
