Ensure that the spacing between the vehicles is such that the stabiliser foot is able to reach the centre line of deck on companion truck or trailer. Always refer to stability chart before commencing lift. |
Follow the procedure as described previously for loading to and from the ground:
Where the deck length permits, legs should be placed on top of the companion truck or trailer. If the deck of the companion truck or trailer has been designed for operating with a Steelbro Sidelifter, position the stabiliser foot in the designated area. Alternatively place the stabiliser feet with care, ensuring that the point of contact is strong and stable enough to bear the weight of the lift. Timber dunnage may help to distribute the load.
If there is insufficient room to place the stabiliser on the deck they can be placed on the ground.
Park the two vehicles approximately 1 metre apart. Place one leg on the ground as far as possible under the rear of the companion truck. Place the other leg as far as possible under the front of the companion truck on the ground. Longer truck decks can be treated as per transferring 20' containers onto 40' trailers.
