10.3. ROAD TRANSPORT
Used within the limits of 1.1.3.1. c) ADR (see chap. 3), the container is not subject to the requirements of ADR provided for
the transport of dangerous goods, including those relating to ADR labelling and reporting of the material transported
It is anyway advisable to equip the CArrytANk
least n.1 2 kg. fire extinguisher with ABC powder.

The safety of carriage must be anyway guaranteed and the prescriptions of art. 164 of the Traffic Laws about "STOWAGE OF LOAD ON
VEHICLES" must be observed. Therefore:
– the CArrytANk
should be kept clean, free from residue of hazardous material adhering to its exterior.
®
– The CARRYTANK must be firmly anchored to the floor of the vehicle, using belts of adequate form and adequate strength so as to avoid
any slippage or displacement on the load floor
– Avoid the presence on the vehicle's cargo area of rags or other inflammable objects.
– the shut-off valve (4) must be kept closed during transport.
– the CArrytANk must be placed on the loading surface so that the maximum loads on the axles of the vehicle are not exceeded
The driver must take prudent and cautious guidance especially in the case of partial loads, because the fluctuations of liquid, while taking
into account the limited volume of CArrytANk, can negatively affect road holding of the vehicle.
11. COMMISSIONING
11.1. VEHICLE SELECTION
the transport of dangerous goods by road shall be governed, in addition to the ADr also by particular provisions of the Ministry of tran-
sportation governing the use of different body types supported:
For vehicles with a fixed body (truck, trailer, van, etc.) the carriage of dangerous goods in packaged form does not provide
any type of approval, but only the use of appropriate load anchorage systems and their responsiveness to any special
provisions according ADR (Column 16 of Table A), no one in case of fuel
The Transport of dangerous goods in parcels with demountable bodies requires the approval of the bodywork pursuant to
circular n. 4790 – MOT2/C dated 12/12/2001 (See Note). The handling of the body is permitted only when they are empty.
The use of dump bodies for the transportation of hazardous goods has been repeatedly declared inadmissible by the
Ministry of Transport
11.2. FIXING
The tank must be firmly anchored to the floor of the vehicle, with ropes, belts, chains or rapid attacks or any other system that prevents any
slippage of the tank on the loading platform.
11.3. GROUNDING
All possible measures must be taken to prevent accumulation of electrostatic charge during transport; It is therefore appropriate that the
chassis of the vehicle is provided with an antistatic appendix in contact with the ground (i.e. chains or antistatic straps) and a good electri-
cal connection with the metal structure of the emptying device is prepared, allowing to download to the ground any static charges that can
accumulate during transport, thereby reducing the danger of shock or sparkles during handling.
11.4. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
See p. 98.
1 the circular no. 4790 - MOt2 / C of 12 December 2001, almost entirely take the contents of the previous n. B083 of 22 September 1998, has however not taken
explicit references to the scope of the circular states, which in the first draft were strangers in the exemption transport under ADR 1.1.3.6. There is currently no official
pronouncement by the Ministry that the apparent differences between the texts of two round matches the intention to extend the scope of application of the rule to
all transportation, regardless of whether the same can be applied whether or not the 'exemption, as in the case of transport of a single IBC 1202. a diesel EMILIANA

to assess, where appropriate, the desirability of a more restrictive application of the rule.
