Make sure that the size, shape and volume of the loads carried are compatible with the highway code and safety regulations and do not impair the driver’s field of vision.
WARNI NG
The load must be evenly distributed in the loading area so as not to interfere with driving the vehicle.Place the load close to the side panels, or even push it against the side panels between the wheel arches.However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as possible as a precaution in case of sharp braking.

To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the load must be made stable so that it cannot slide, tip over, fall or be thrown. To do this, use only retaining straps that conform to current standards (DIN for example).For more information on putting straps in place, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
There must not be any empty space between the components of the load.To prevent the load sliding, there must not be any empty space between the load and the panels of the vehicle.As well as the straps, optimise the stability of the load with stable handling equipment (wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
