When we in the UK use an FLT to load a trailer backed-up to a dock like this and it doesn't have the tractor still attached (as in your video) we would ALWAYS begin by installing an A-frame under the king-pin. When an FLT drives forwards beyond the landing-legs of the trailer, the trailer could unbalance raising the wheels off of the ground.
so if you have a stack of pallets that are uneven, raise tynes to above height of stack and bump them together with the mast, then do the sides, then the back until she's all good......
I was taught on a straight load of 26 stacks you start right end right because of the crowning of the roads for less chance of the last 2 stacks shifting in transit.
Thanks for the comment. A max of 30 skid spots can fit on a 53 ft trailer. Most common stack heights are 20 high lifts so we wanted to keep everything as common as possible and not show 'maximum space' loading procedures. Yes it is easy to fit a few more pallets on the top of a stack but the driver on the receiving end could really struggle to get off the stacks and potentially damage the roof of the trailer during the offload process. I do agree the stacks in the video could be neater but this is real world expectation when loading pallet trailers - rarely will a forklift driver ensure each stack is perfect before loading, so we wanted to show what trailer loading is really all about for anyone interested
every trade needs to be respected. theres a trick to every trade. thanks respect

yes - the last 2 stacks can be unstable. We usually strap t he last 2 stacks to keep them from falling over. Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the video
You’re very welcome....glad you liked it - any other video you would like to see?
Ah ah that’s my gang!
💪
Cool
I work at refrigerated warehouse we call that last load method double pin
Ya there are a few names for different types of loading patterns. I just choose what I thought was the most popular names. Thanks for the comment
Cool we call it chimney blocking
Somewhere there’s a driver losing his mind over detention pay
Thanks for commenting. We used one of our own trailers for this video. We usually have good in and out times
That definitely looked like a pallet trailer. Nice video. Very informative. ;)
That last method means you better pray your sweet ass they have a fork lift.
haha yes that would be the only way
Wow where do I signed
he is saying
straight on 26 skids
chimney block 28 skids
all sideways 30 skids
Correct
They don't teach you jack at my warehouse.
How high do you load it to?
@TexanGuy91 usually 20 high is a standard maximum height
@@durhampallet4964 any room for a Pull Up Bar in there?
Respectfully, your individual stacks are pretty sloppy. It should be tight plum all sides. 680 48x40 4ways fit in a dry shed.
