Beall - Operations Manual - Pneumatic Tank Trailers

49 LOADING

Set the trailer parking brakes in the cab before loading.

Be aware of the maximum loading temperature rating and do not load a product above that temperature. Loading of a product at a higher temperature can cause structural damage to the tank. Be aware of the maximum product density and the maximum product load. Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. If loaded past this point, structural damage may result. If your trailer is equipped with an air suspension system, load the trailer with the tractor attached in order to maintain air pressure in the suspension system. If you must disconnect the tractor, support the trailer at the kingpin plate and exhaust the air from the suspension. Do not load a trailer that is being supported by non-load bearing landing legs. When top loading, make sure that the loading pipe is properly secured to prevent spillage. Make sure that the manholes and blowdown valves are properly sealed before moving the trailer. Overtightening the covers can cause damage to the gaskets.

Loading facility requirements can vary. Follow all loading facility instructions for safe loading.

NOTICE

Materials and dust are potentially harmful. Avoid contact with them by keeping clear of open manholes and vent outlets. DO NOT attempt to load this equipment by vacuum unless it is vacuum-capable by design, as indicated on the serial plate.
