Off-loading on Restricted Sites
The procedures below should always be followed when off-loading on restricted sites.
(1)
Ensure that the pallets are dropped so that they are never closer than 1 Oft (3.0 m) from the centerline.
(2)
Pallets should be off-loaded in the order in which they are needed for construction. For example, the pallet
containing the erection and launch components is always off-loaded first, to one side of centerline, near the
edge of the gap.
(3)
Use the dump trucks, or other unit vehicles, as anchorages for off-loading trailers.
(4)
Movement and positioning of vehicles onto restricted sites is dependent on site conditions.
(5)
Disconnect trailers in an area clear of the site and have trucks return for off-loading.
(6)
Always unload all erection and launch components and at least 2 bay loads before starting construction.
CAUTION
Do not use the bridge as an anchorage to off-load ramp and deck loads. Use caution when reversing
vehicles on site.
