Loading And Unloading A Flatbed Trailer
Since the trailer “ride” can be bumpy and rough, you must secure your cargo so
that it does not shift while the trailer is being towed.
! WARNING
Shifting cargo can result in loss of control of the trailer, and can
lead to death or serious injury.
Tie down all loads with proper sized fasteners, ropes, straps, etc.
Return the ramp(s) to their stowed position(s), and secure them so that they will
not move during transit. Place rear jacks in the horizontal travel position or remove
blocking from rear of the trailer.

OADING THE SB SERIES TILT DECK TRAILER
The SB series tilt deck trailer is fitted with a lock pin (1) that keeps the trailer deck
in the driving position. After the trailer is loaded and the cargo is secured with hold
downs, be sure the lock pin has locked the trailer into “driving position.”
Couple the trailer to the tow vehicle before attempting to unlock the deck and load
the trailer.
Remove safety lock pin and deck lock pin (1) and tilt deck to the loading position.
! WARNING
A damaged deck lock pin may cause loss of cargo or loss of
control of the trailer. Death or serious injury may result.
Before loading the trailer, inspect the deck lock pin.
If the deck lock pin becomes bent, do not straighten it. Replace
the deck lock pin before towing trailer.
