Loading and Securing Paper Rolls with Eyes Vertical

Requirements for preventing paper rolls from tipping

Situation #1:

• Paper roll is not prevented from tipping by the vehicle structure or other cargo.
• Paper roll width is more than 2 times its diameter.

Solution #1:

• Either band the roll to other rolls.
• Or brace it.
• Or use tie-downs.

Situation #2:

• The forwardmost roll(s) in a group of paper rolls is not prevented from tipping or falling forward by vehicle structure or other cargo.
• Paper roll width is more than 1.75 times its diameter.

Solution #2:

• Either band the roll to other rolls.
• Or brace it.
• Or use tie-downs.

Situation #3:

• A paper roll or the forwardmost roll(s) in a group of paper rolls is not prevented from tipping or falling forward by vehicle structure or other cargo.
• Paper roll width is more than 1.25 times its diameter.
• Blocking is used to prevent forward movement.

Solution #3:

• Either band the roll to other rolls.
• Or brace it.
• Or use tie-downs.

Situation #4

• A paper roll or the forwardmost roll(s) in a group of paper rolls is not prevented from tipping or falling forward by vehicle structure or other cargo.
• Paper roll width is more than 1.25 times and less than 1.76 times its diameter.
• Only friction mats are used for forward securement.

Solution #4:

The friction mat alone is adequate. The friction mat allows the roll to slide on the floor without tripping the roll.

Banding

If paper rolls are banded together:

• Place rolls tightly against each other to form a stable group.
• Apply bands tightly.
• Secure bands with tape, hangers, or other means so that the bands cannot fall off the rolls or slide down to the deck.
