3.2 - Loading and Unloading a Truck Mounted Drill Rig

When loading or unloading a drill rig on a trailer or a truck, follow these precautions:

• Select an area of level ground for loading and unloading

• Have a spotter guide the driver off of the trailer or truck.

• Before using a ramp, verify the brakes of the drill rig are in working order

• Ensure that any ramps used are designed for this purpose and provide a sturdy and solid enough base to

bear the weight of the drill rig with carrier including tooling.

• Verify that when the drill rig is on the trailer, the weight of the drill rig, carrier and tools are centered on

the centerline of the trailer. In addition, some of the trailer load should be transferred to the hitch of the

tow vehicle. Refer to the trailer recommendations for weight distribution provided by the manufacturer.

• Verify the drill rig is secured to the towing vehicle with ties, chains, or load binders that can handle the

required weight.

3.3 - Physically Accessing the Equipment and Vehicles

Use proper mounting and dismounting techniques when climbing into and from vehicles or equipment.

Some tips are:

• Face the equipment and use the hand and footholds provided – maintain three points of contact with

the equipment

• Do not jump off equipment.

• Use vehicle ladders to access truck beds.

• Do not climb on tires.

3.4 - Traveling to the Site

3.4.1 - Driver Requirements

All drillers and drivers must:

• Be properly licensed and operate vehicles in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations

• Be aware that every car, truck, tractor, and drill rig has its own handling characteristics; every new

driver should learn these characteristics in the company of an experienced driver.

• Every employee should be qualified on each type of vehicle and equipment the employee will operate

prior to operating the vehicle or equipment unsupervised.

• Every employee knows the dimensions of any equipment he or she is driving, including the required

overhead clearance, and the width, length and weight of the rig. The driver also knows the load limits

for highways and bridges, and verifies that the vehicle is not exceeding those limits.

NOTE: Service stations and other facilities frequently have canopies and electrical service

lines that are too low for a drill rig to clear, extreme caution must be used in these areas.
