When transporting <br />from storage to the job site, do k w' <br />not allow pipe to extend more Q. <br />than 10 feet (3 meters) beyond <br />the end of the truck or trailer <br />bed; permanent damage can <br />result from excessive bending stress. Protect pipe to prevent <br />impact and point -loading damage. During transport, contact <br />surfaces must be well padded to prevent damage to pipe wall. <br />Strap the pipe down with nylon or hemp rope tie downs. This <br />will help prevent abnormal movement of the pipe during trans- <br />port. <br />Woad or padded supports are essential for truck or trailer <br />beds that have sharp edges (such as metal plates on the back <br />of a flat-bed trailer). When transporting the pipe on trucks with <br />narrow overhead piping racks, padded supports must be <br />used to prevent point loads. <br />Loading and Unloading <br />When the pipe is not specially <br />packaged, it should be loaded <br />and unloaded by hand. When <br />properly palletized or otherwise <br />adequately protected, forklifts <br />may be used. Do not throw or <br />drop pipe and/or fittings from the <br />truck to the ground. <br />
