This is a photo of the controls for an open car transport trailer. These levers control the ramps that secure the vehicles that are being shipped. The ramps must be positioned correctly for loading, unloading and travel by the auto transport worker. The top ramp must be loaded first and then repositioned so the bottom level can be loaded.
Below are the 7 important listings written on the yellow “Caution” above all the red and black levers that the car transport driver uses to maneuver your vehicle. Most of the listings seem to be general safety things for the auto shipping driver to keep in mind before doing his job.
- Refer to owners guide before operating this car transport carrier.
- Stay from under movable runways unless safety locks are in place.
- Do not operate car transport trailer with parking brakers caged
- Keep hands and limbs from movable objects while hydraulic system is operating.
- Do not exceed 1800 P.S.I. on hydraulic system pressure setting
- Use only ladders and areas with non-skid material to ascend or descend from the head ramp or car transport trailer
- Do not step on drip pans.
