1	Transport and Delivery of Modular Home
2	Overview Planning for transport of modular home Transporting the modular home Traffic control requirements Flagger training and equipment requirements Transport and delivery at the home site
3	Transporting Modular Homes 60-90% finished when delivered 2-8 weeks Use their own carriers Contract with a third party
4	Toter with Box
5	Planning Pre-trip planning and meetings; preparing for escorts; route Planning and communication; oversize/overweight highway movements Respect laws, comply with permits and follow safe driving habits; escort assignment conclusions; Quality assurance reviews.
6	In route Wider tolerance must be made to account for curves and intersections. Access routes must be planned for transport between holding areas and the building site. Truck stop Church parking lot
7	Basic Rules of Access 20-feet wide by 15-feet high clearance along the entire route; No grade change over 1 foot in 20 feet; Account for sharp turns and “S” curves;
8	Basic Rules of Access Account for bridge clearances and weight restrictions, which may also be an issue at certain times of the year; Consult with state transportation departments and inform all parties including the manufacturer and the crane company; Get necessary permits. All parties involved with the installation should be informed of the route and any restrictions.
9	Secure Loose Materials Secure loose items being shipped within the modular box with tie downs. Loose items may be damaged in transit;

11	Flagging
12	Traffic Control Plan Advanced Warning Area Transition Area Buffer Space Work Space Termination Area
13	Traffic Control Plan Advanced Warning Area
14	1. Advanced Warning Area This area is the most important since it: Gets the public's attention Informs the driver of what to expect ahead Provides the driver time to react
15	1. Advanced Warning Area Advance Warning Area should use three types of signs: General warning (ROAD WORK AHEAD) Specific warning (ONE LANE ROAD AHEAD or RIGHT LANE CLOSED AHEAD) Specific instructions (FLAGGER AHEAD)
16	1. Advanced Warning Area At higher speeds, space the signs 500 feet apart At lower speeds, space the signs at least 200 feet apart
17	Traffic Control Plan 2. Transition Area
18	2. Transition Area The transition area should: Move traffic out of the normal path/flow Provide clear directions so that drivers know where to go Usually involve tapers Vary with speed and distance
19	Taper
20	Traffic Control Plan 3. Buffer Space
21	3. Buffer Area The buffer area is: A safety factor in case a driver does not stop The place where you can adjust for hills and curves A place where vehicles and/or equipment are not allowed
22	Buffer Space Buffer Space
23	3. Buffer Area The length of this area varies depending on traffic speed, volume, and conditions.
24	Work Space 4. Work Space
25	4. Work Area Some work zone area safety suggestions are: Keep traffic out of the work area, moving with the normal flow; Remind your workers to keep themselves and equipment out of travel lanes; In some situations you may need a flagger to control or slow down traffic; Caution flaggers to avoid drifting into the travel lane; Be sure to deal with the side roads and business access.
26	Traffic Control Plan 5. Termination Area
27	5. Termination Area The termination area: Lets drivers know the work zone is over Is usually a short taper Needs an END ROAD WORK sign if it is not obvious
28	Flaggers Need the following: the proper equipment proper training. Proper attitude includes being: Alert Motivated Committed
29	Flagger Proper equipment: Stop-slow paddle High visibility vest or jacket. Two-way radio to communicate between flaggers if hand signals will not work Orange hard hat Air horn or whistle to warn other workers if a driver does not stop And other work zone traffic control devices
30	Flagging Equipment Stop-slow paddle
31	Flagging Equipment Safety Vest Orange, yellow, and yellow green are allowed for flagger clothing. Reflective material is required for flagging at night.
32	Flagger Training The first rule of flagging is do not stand in the travel lane! The proper place to stand in order to stop traffic is at the right shoulder of the road. Flaggers should always have an escape route
33	Flagger Training To Stop Traffic: Stand on the edge of the road facing traffic Hold up your left hand palm outward Hold the paddle out away from your body, the STOP side toward traffic Make eye contact with the driver
34	Flagger Training If necessary, after the first car has stopped you may go to the center of the road to stop succeeding cars. If two flaggers are working, use a two-way radio or hand signal to tell the other flagger that your traffic is stopped.
35	Flagger Training To Release Traffic: After receiving the signal from the other flagger, step back to the shoulder of the road, turn your paddle to SLOW (or drop flag by your side). With your free hand, motion traffic to proceed.
36	Flagger Training & Equipment To make sure drivers see your flagger, remember these tips. Flaggers should... Be dressed appropriately Wear a clean, regulation vest Stand alone, away from other people Face traffic and make eye contact with drivers Be alert and pay attention
37	Flagger Do's Use stop/slow paddles whenever possible Be alert Set up proper advanced warning signage for approaching traffic. Signs should be spaced 500 feet apart on higher speed roads; 200 feet apart in lower speed areas Face traffic Hold up your left hand to stop traffic Hold the paddle away from your body Be visible Make eye contact with drivers Step to the road shoulder to release traffic; turn the paddle to "slow“ Have a good escape route in case a driver does not stop
38	Flagger Don’ts Become distracted Stand in the travel lane Use the flag to signal Waving the flag confuses drivers Assume traffic will stop Sit or rest on nearby equipment or vehicles Use walkmans, radios, etc. Turn your back to traffic unless it is absolutely necessary after approaching vehicles have stopped
39	At the Home Site Obstructing overhead and underground utilities in the access path. Be ready to protect curbs Transporter getting stuck on a secondary roadway.
40	Bulldozers Don’t rely on the “toter” (tractor trailer) to move boxes on the job site. A bulldozer with the correct trailer hitch should always be available
41	Dozer Towing a Toter and Trailer (Video)
42	Moving Around the Site Make sure the hitch, coupler, draw bar and other equipment that connect the carrier to the tow vehicle are secure.
43	Heavy Equipment Hazards Obstructed view when backing Striking people or other equipment Pinch points between equipment and objects Overturning equipment Operational failures Overhead and underground power lines Moving parts of the equipment Hazards caused by improper maintenance of equipment
44	Heavy Equipment Safety Make sure back-up alarms are working properly Maintain good communication On-foot workers should be trained in working around heavy equipment Heavy equipment must be equipped with rollover protective structures
45	Heavy Equipment Safety (cont.) Always wear required PPE (hard hat, steel toe shoes) while operating equipment. Do not allow anyone to ride on the equipment Make sure equipment is secure when unattended Wear proper hearing protection when operating loud equipment.
46	Transport and Delivery Review Conduct a pre-trip review and meeting addressing potential obstacles in the route. Follow state, local and recommended towing requirements. Ensure that the traffic control is set up properly at the delivery site. Make sure flaggers are properly trainee and have proper equipment. Once on site take necessary precautions in using a dozer to move the trailer around the site.
