Updated: Oct 20, 2021

Whenever the need arises to move heavy material or equipment, you need to be sure to safely secure your payload to the transport vehicle of choice.  A properly secured load will not only ensure your own well-being, but the safety of everyone else that happens to be sharing the road with you that day.

  • Whenever possible, try to keep the majority of weight down low to avoid tipping or load shift while in transit.

  • Before strapping or chaining down an item, be sure to remove any/all delicate, poorly fastened or already loose items that can easily fall off or become damaged while in transport.

  • Plan your delivery route to avoid unnecessary diversions.

  • If inexperienced, try to schedule large deliveries when the weather is cooperating and in your favor.
