Loading a Lawn Mower on a Truck
Putting a lawn mower in a truck involves similar techniques as loading it onto a trailer. Lower the tailgate, secure the truck, and utilize ramps for easier loading. Make sure the mower is centered and secure in the truck bed using straps.
Loading Different Types of Lawn Mowers
-
Push Mower: Use a pulley system or ramps with plywood for extra support. Tilt the mower back, place it onto the ramps or box, and secure it with tie-down straps.
-
Riding Mower: Turn it off, attach ratchet straps, and lift or use ramps to load it into the truck bed. Secure loose items to prevent damage and ensure steady footing when lifting.
Securing a Lawn Mower for Transport
To secure a lawn mower for transport, use tie-down straps to prevent movement. Make sure the straps are tight and that the mower is upright. Use blocks or wedges to prevent tipping during transport.
