Cargo Supplies & Load Securing: Buying Guide
Why Loads Shift and How to Prevent It
Freight shifts when braking, turning, accelerating and road vibration overcome the friction holding it in place. Gaps between pallets are the biggest risk because they let freight build momentum. Securing a load means blocking it against movement in every direction.
Use a combination: fill gaps with dunnage bags, brace with load bars where needed and tie down with straps rated for the weight. Protect edges so straps do not cut cartons and so cargo does not damage the strap.
Straps, Bags and Bars: What Each Does
Tie-down straps resist movement by pulling freight down and back. Dunnage bags block lateral movement within a van or container. Load bars span the trailer width and brace stacked loads. Which you need depends on cargo, trailer and distance.
Compliance and Safety
Carriers and customers may have load securement requirements, and regulators set minimum standards for commercial cargo. Check your carrier's rules and your applicable regulations, and choose gear with clear ratings. Inspect straps before each use and replace any that are cut, frayed or damaged.
Cargo Supplies & Load Securing FAQ
What is working load limit (WLL)?
WLL is the maximum load a strap or tie-down is designed to hold in normal use. It is typically a fraction of the strap's breaking strength. Always use straps with a WLL appropriate for your cargo.
How do dunnage bags work?
You place the bag between pallets or against a wall in a gap, then inflate it. It braces the load so it cannot shift. Choose a bag size and rating for the gap and load.
Do you quote supplies for shipping containers?
Yes. Tell us container size and what goes inside and we will quote bags, liners and protection.
