Unloading A B-train Lead

Hi all,

we ship containers from ports to our client's yards by hiring trucking companies across Canada. this weekend, a client was unloading his container and it tipped forward. no one was hurt but I'm told that the problem is that we unloaded it wrong. I'm not sure how else to unload it for the weight to stay in the wheels. any comments on how this can be avoided?? Any info can help. thanks GH

Many warehouses I go to use a stabilizer

The "WORKSAFE BC" website out of Canada probably has an instructional video or article on how to avoid this in the future.

Kearsey's suggestion is 100% correct.

Thank you!!!

Glad no one was injured.

Leave one or two pallets on the tail near the door, leaving one side of the container open to pass by with other pallets. Unload the one or two pallets last. This will counter balance the nose.

While at PFG we’d spot a spare tractor or jockey tractor under the chassis as it’s being unloaded.

Best thing is the stand.

I appreciate this greatly, thank you
