Approximately half of all fatal heavy equipment accidents occur when it is being loaded or unloaded from a trailer, according to industry statistics. Often, this happens because the operator is not wearing a seat belt or isn’t fully qualified to operate the machine. Accidents can also happen when transporting equipment, if it is not properly secured to the trailer. That's why the U.S. Department of Transportation mandates best practices for securing and transporting equipment on trailers.
