IMPORTANT NOTICE
If your load is stuck and will not move, please STOP! Do not force the
load as you may break or permanently damage the Loadhandler®
or your truck.
Here are some examples of what may be causing the problem:

Overloading or improper installation. Make sure load is 2200 lbs
or less and that Loadhandler® is installed properly.
Non-slip spray-in liner, rubber mat or pitted rusty truck bed -
these all cause too much friction for the dragsheet to slide
properly. These non-slip surfaces must be covered with a hard,
smooth surface. A sheet of hard plastic, masonite, linoleum,
wood paneling, etc., all work well. Or consider purchasing the
Doubl-Mat® by Loadhandler Products, a reversible mat that is
both a "slip-liner" on one side and a protective, non-slip mat on
the other side (4' x 8'). See later pages for more details on Doubl-
Mat®.
"Locked Load" - there are several situations which may cause a
load to lock. Lock-up usually occurs behind wheel wells.
Gravel, rock, soil, etc., may "cake up" and lock the load.
Items such as firewood, shingles, tiles, trash, furniture, etc.,
may hit The wheel well (or truck rear wall on either side of
tailgate) and lock the load.
Organic materials such as grass clippings, compost, turf, etc.,
if left for several hours, can "cake up" or even stick to the
dragsheet.
To solve the Locked Load problem, free or loosen the materials in
front of and behind the wheel wells.
