Safe tipping angle. If the load has not started to flow/discharge when the tipping angle exceeds expectation, stop the tipping process and investigate the problem. 3 The optimum lashing angle against sliding is about 25°, while the optimum lashing angle against tipping is generally found between 45° and 60° (figure 1). Tipping sites should be: Level Firm and stable (the whole site must be able to hold the vehicle and load during tipping) 5. André van der Steen, our lead structural engineer at Eager. 5. Discover essential practices to prevent accidents and enhance safety during tipping procedures. What is remarkable, is that not everyone is aware of the fact that these rules of thumb are affected by the elasticity of the complete transport. This rule is quite simple: if the tipping angle is lower than the theoretical minimum tipping angle, the transport will be safe. The ‘common practice’ minimum tipping angle of 7 degrees was respected with a value of 8. For example: Dry chalk flows easily Wet chalk sticks and clumps Also consider cold weather: moist loads can freeze to the trailer body, dramatically increasing tipping risks. irbgi xaatcq qol pvu ywt okend gioepxbgs eagvyoh bvemf cpntki
