Secure your truck/trailer load & prevent load movement during transportation by road with Cordstrap's road transport securing solutions.
Did you know that the Transportation Department of the European Commission has estimated that in the EU alone, 25% of all accidents involving trucks can be attributed to improper road transport cargo securing? These accidents can lead to loss of cargo, loss of vehicles – or even worse – loss of life!
Take a look at the pictures above and see what can happen to improper secured cargo. You will understand that if you do not restrain your truck/trailer load properly, this could have extreme consequences!

Do you think that the weight of your truck or trailer load will prevent it from moving? This is not the case!
It does not matter how heavy a load is, it will always move if not secured properly.
For example, a pallet of 150 kg will move at exactly the same time as a pallet of more than double this weight.
Watch our movie on truck/trailer load movement.
Preventing your cargo from moving is much easier than stopping it. This is why it is essential to secure your cargo properly.
There are many different ways to prevent load movement.
Creating a proper ‘movable unit’ by means of bundling or palletizing is a good start. You can do this by using polyester strapping and/or polyester lashing.
Empty voids can be filled with dunnage air bags. Cordstrap Dunnage Bags stabilize your cargo, prevent it from moving ánd eliminate cargo damage.
Using friction increasing materials on the floor of your truck/trailer will reduce load movement during transport.
