Loading Vehicles on Flatbed Trucks

This checklist helps managers and operators load and unload vehicles on flatbed trucks safely and efficiently. It guides you to confirm a safe work procedure, verify trained and competent staff, and wear required personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety footwear, and high visibility clothing. Plan deliveries to reduce road exposure, set up a clear zone, and assign a spotter for traffic direction. Ensure truck and trailer alignment, lock and secure ramps, and use railings or a ladder for safe access. Secure vehicles and equipment to prevent movement in transit and lock hydraulic ramps in the transport position.
