Tips for Safely Securing Your Cargo.
Transporting cargo, whether for DIY projects or professional logistics, requires careful preparation to ensure safety on the road. At Safeload, our durable 2-ton (6mx50mm) and 5-ton (9mx50mm) ratchets and straps are designed for secure and efficient load fastening. Here’s how to secure your cargo like a pro:
1. Choose the Right Equipment
Match Weight Capacity: Use straps suitable for your load—our 2-ton and 5-ton options cover a range of needs.
Inspect Straps: Check for damage or wear before use to maintain safety.
2. Prepare Cargo and Vehicle
Distribute Weight Evenly: Prevent load shifts by balancing weight for stable handling.
Use Anchor Points: Ensure your vehicle has strong tie-down points to secure straps effectively.
3. Use Ratchet Straps Correctly
Thread Properly: Feed the strap through the ratchet spool, pulling out slack.
Tighten Securely: Crank the ratchet handle until taut but avoid over-tightening to protect your cargo.
Manage Loose Ends: Tie off or tuck excess strap to prevent flapping during transit.
4. Add Extra Safety Measures
Corner Protectors: Safeguard straps from sharp edges using our corner protectors in sizes up to 2m.
Double-Check: Shake the cargo and reassess straps before driving.
Periodic Inspections: Check tension during long trips as loads may shift.
