Minnesota Administrative Rules

1513.1020 MOUNTING OF CONTAINERS.

Subpart 1.

Secure mounting.

All containers must be securely mounted. A "stop" or "stops" must be mounted on the farm wagon or on the container in such a way that the container cannot be dislodged from its mounting due to the farm wagon coming to a sudden stop. Back slippage must also be prevented.

Subp. 2.

Hold-down device.

A hold-down device must be provided which will anchor the container to the farm wagon at one or more places on each side of the container.

Subp. 3.

Weight distribution.

If containers are mounted on four-wheel farm wagons, the weight must be distributed evenly over both axles.

Subp. 4.

Friction.

If the cradle and the container are not welded together, suitable material must be used between them to eliminate metal-to-metal friction. See part 1513.0120, subparts 2 and 4, with regard to welding on a container.
