Transporting aggregate, such as sand, gravel or crushed stone, is a task that requires proper preparation in terms of both technology and logistics. Aggregate is a loose material, which means that it must be transported with special precautions to avoid loss of cargo and damage to the vehicle.

Proper preparation of the vehicle for transporting aggregate

The transport of aggregate requires vehicles equipped with specialised trailers, such as tippers or self-unloading trailers, which allow for easy and safe loading and unloading of the material. Before setting off, it is essential to thoroughly check the technical condition of the vehicle, paying particular attention to the braking system, tyres and tipping system. A properly prepared vehicle is the basis for safe transport, especially when large quantities of heavy and loose material are being transported. This is where the TIR mobile service comes in handy, which can perform a comprehensive technical inspection on site, without the need to visit a stationary workshop.

Mobile service support on the road – a guarantee of safety

Even the best-prepared vehicle can break down during a long journey, which can pose a serious threat when transporting aggregate. In such a situation, the TIR mobile service offers fast and professional support, regardless of where the fault occurred. Thanks to mobile workshops equipped with modern diagnostic equipment and tools, technicians are able to repair most faults without having to transport the vehicle to a workshop. Such support is particularly important when the aggregate is transported in a semi-trailer and time is of the essence to deliver the material to a construction site or production plant. The TIR mobile service also guarantees safety – quick repairs help to avoid dangerous situations on the road, such as the vehicle tipping over during unloading or sudden brake failure.
