Loading a Dozer

Advance preparation might be required in prior to the arrival of the trucker depending on the size of the Dozer.

Particularly large pieces might require the blade to be removed and possibly shipped separately due to considerations like the width of the attachment and total weight. That’s usually due to very heavy or over dimensional loads falling under a term known as “divisible load”

If the load is large and can be broken down into smaller pieces then for a load to be hauled legally it must be transported on two separate loads. If you’re not sure give us a call to discuss we can give you some insights to help you 587-956-8681

The driver will carefully drive onto the trailer. If it’s a large Loader an RGN type trailer will be used. This trailer disconnects from the semi truck and allows the driver to use the trailer as a ramp to easily load this equipment. Check out our trailer resource for more information.

Next the parking brake gets applied, neutral selected, he will activate the hydraulic lockout switch, releasing the boom lock in turn this releases hydraulic pressure and lowers the bucket.

With the very last stage the driver will chain down the equipment to the trailer bed using the Wheel Loader/Track Loader tow eyes as well as chaining to the bucket.

There are a number of different types, but especially the Motor Scraper will require a low boy trailer and extra wheels (axels) in order for the driver to ensure the weight is distributed correctly. 

That could mean additional using additional equipment to transport safely and legally like Jeep dolly’s, or a Booster. Take a look at our trailer page for detailed information.

Pilot car escort might also be required to ensure the safety of the load and other road users due to the equipment’s size. 

The experienced trucker will carefully load onto the trailer deck. Apply the parking brake, select neutral, activate the hydraulic lockout switch, lock to release hydraulic pressure.

Finally, the driver will chain down the load to the trailer bed using the equipment’s tow eyes. 

The load will now be inspected. The truck and trailer will drive at a slow pace, breaking, to ensure the equipment is stable and secure before departing.
