928G Wheel Loader Shipping the Machine Caterpillar

Investigate the travel route for overpass clearances. Make sure that there will be adequate clearance if the machine that is transported is equipped with a ROPS, with a cab, or with a canopy.

Before loading, remove ice, snow, or other slippery material from the loading dock and from the truck bed. This is done in order to prevent slippage of the machine. This should also be done in order to prevent a shift while the machine is moving in transit.
