🛠️ Operation & Specifications

How to Load Containers Using a Flatbed Trailer?

  1. Park the trailer on a stable, flat surface near the loading site.

  2. Use suitable lifting equipment—cranes or forklifts—depending on cargo type and weight.

  3. Center the cargo on the trailer deck for balanced weight distribution.

  4. Secure with chains, straps, or twist locks at all anchor points.
