12.2 Hauling the Skid Steer and Mower
Before transporting a loaded skid steer and
mower, measure the height and width
dimensions and gross weight of the complete
loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in
compliance with the legal limits set for the areas
that will be traveled through.
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and
equipment to transport the skid steer and
mower. Consult an authorized dealer to
determine the proper equipment required.
Using adequately sized chains, heavy duty
straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie down
both the front and rear of the skid steer utilizing
the proper tie down locations as specified by
the skid steer manufacturer.
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the
chains are pulling downward and against
themselves. Carefully tighten the securing
chains or other fasteners used as much as
possible using boomers or binders to apply max-
imum tension. Use extreme care when
attaching and removing the securing devices as
the extreme tension involved when released has
the potential to inflict serious injury.
While hauling the skid steer and mower, make
occasional stops to check that the skid steer and
mower have not moved or shifted and that the
securing chains have maintained tension. If dur-
ing transport a hard braking, sharp turning, or
swerving action was performed, stop at the next
safe location to inspect the security of the load.
