Follow the steps to fill out the M041 online effectively.

1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and access it in the online editor.
2. Review the physical characteristics section of the M041. Ensure that your pallets are constructed using high-quality materials that meet the standards, including the dimensions of 48 by 40 inches and a gross weight capacity of 2,200 pounds.
3. In the securing pallets section, confirm that your pallets are secured properly during transport. You may choose among several options: using at least two straps or bands, wrapping the pallet with stretchable or shrinkable plastic, or a combination of both methods.
4. Familiarize yourself with the standards for top caps. If your pallets are stacked, ensure that they are top-capped to maintain the integrity of the load. Make sure the top pallet can accommodate the weight and is not damaging the contents.
5. Check the stacking standards for pallets. If stacking your pallets, verify that the combined gross weight does not exceed 2,200 pounds and that the stack does not exceed 84 inches in height.
6. If you are utilizing pallet boxes, ensure they meet the height requirements and are secured correctly to prevent shifting during transport.
