CHAPTER NO.4
LOADING AND UNLOADING

NOTES

(I) Where the lead for loading or unloading is more than the lead, specified in the following rates,
this should be paid at carriage rates (Chapter-5), for second and third chain of 30 meters length,
as the case may be.
rd
(II) The rates for unloading meter-gauge wagons will be 2/3 the rates, for broad-gauge wagons
where the unit for measurement is specified, as wagon.

(III) The rates for unloading materials like sand, stone, ballast etc., from tipping-wagons or tipping
trucks, shall be reduced by 50 percent. There shall, however, be no reduction in the rates for
loading.

(IV) Bricks and tiles shall be properly stacked in vehicles and not dumped. While unloading, these
shall be directly placed into stacks, and not dumped on the ground, and then stacked.

(V) While making measurements for loading, unloading or stacking, suitable deduction shall be
made to account for voids, in the loose stacking, according to the factors, mentioned in the
relevant specifications of materials, as given in chapter No.3, of the P.W.D. Specifications.

(VI) The rate of loading, unloading and stacking shall also include the loading, unloading and
stcking of containers, in which the materials are contained. For instance, if 100 tonne of bitumen
is loaded or unloaded in 160/200 litre drums, the net weight of bitumen will be 100 tonne and
weight of the drum will be over and above this weight . Nothing extra will be paid, for the weight of
the bitumen drums, which are supposed to be carried, in addition to the bitumen, within the same
rate.

(II) The following rates do not provide for any special arrangement such as provision of
mechanical equipment for loading purpose. The unloading of heavy machinery or consignments
requiring crane work or special arrangements will be done departmentally or paid for on the merit
of each case.
