Essential Requirements – false headboards Manufactured from first grade plywood. 2-off 18mm thick boards screwed together to form 36mm thick boards. 500mm high to prevent spearing over the top To reduce manual handling issues, separate 18 mm thick boards can be placed back to back The false headboards at the front, middle and rear of the load must be strong enough to take the force of the bars sliding forward, and the straps pulling backwards. Thinner boards were tested and they shattered to matchwood!! They need to be 500mm high to stop the bars spearing over the top.

Essential Requirements – base dunnage Dunnage must have a square cross-section. 75 x 75mm minimum softwood with triangular chocks, or 100 x 100mm hardwood with steel pegs. Maximum of 3 bundles between chocks/pegs: The base dunnage needs to have chocks or pegs to stop the bundles of bars rolling off sideways. The strength of the chocks / pegs determines how many bundles can be placed between them to cover the forces in the standard. No more than 3 bundles are allowed between chocks/pegs. If steel pegs are used, the timber must be hardwood.
