What describes dry bulk tanks and hanging meat?

Dry bulk tanks and hanging meat are considered unstable loads due to their unique properties and handling requirements. Both types of cargo can shift during transport, which can lead to a change in the center of gravity and affect vehicle stability. For instance, dry bulk tanks are filled with materials like grain or powdered substances that can move around within the tank as the vehicle turns or stops. Similarly, hanging meat can swing and shift during transit, which poses a risk of losing balance and rolling over, especially in larger vehicles. Understanding the instability of these loads is crucial for drivers to apply the appropriate driving techniques, such as reducing speed and increasing following distance to maintain control during transport.

Other factors, such as the need for special permits for certain cargo and the general characteristics of maneuverability, do not specifically address the stability aspect, which is key to understanding the challenges associated with transporting these types of loads.
