Bales should be loaded in tiers <strong>of</strong> similar height, packed as tightly as possible against one
another. The outer bales <strong>of</strong> each tier shall lie directly against the walls or side stanchions. If
the bales are secured against the walls or sides <strong>of</strong> the wagon the strength <strong>of</strong> the walls/sides
should be clearly marked.
A system <strong>for</strong> adjustable transverse blocking would allow the bales to be packed tightly
together and against the blocking regardless <strong>of</strong> their dimensions. It is important to know the
strength <strong>of</strong> the blocking.
7.5 Rolls <strong>of</strong> paper
The securing <strong>of</strong> rolls <strong>of</strong> paper loaded upright is regulated by Chapter 4.1.3 in RIV Loading
Guidelines, App II, Section 2. The regulations call <strong>for</strong> the rolls to be loaded in wagons with
sliding walls and fixed end walls. The rolls are loaded in different patterns and are secured
lengthways by the end walls and are able to slide if appropriate. Rolls whose diameter is less
than 7/10 (hump and fly) or 6/10 (not hump and fly) <strong>of</strong> their height must be bound together.
Sideways the rolls are secured by nailed guide-rails or friction-enhancing inserts.
