The safety of transporting goods in trucks largely depends on the proper securing of cargo. This process is crucial not only for the protection of the cargo itself but also for the safety of all road users.

BRUGG Lifting offers a wide range of high-quality products and services specifically developed for cargo securing under all transport conditions.

Basics of Cargo Securing

What is cargo securing?

Cargo securing refers to all measures taken to safely and firmly secure cargo during transport in vehicles. The goal is to minimize movements of the cargo that can occur due to driving dynamics such as braking, accelerating, or cornering. This prevents damage to the cargo, the transport vehicle, and most importantly, accidents.

Why should you secure cargo?

Effective cargo securing prevents the cargo from shifting, tipping over, falling off, or in any way compromising the vehicle’s stability. The consequences of poor cargo securing can be severe, ranging from damage to the cargo to traffic accidents and serious legal consequences.

Key Aspects of Cargo Securing

The key aspects of cargo securing include understanding and applying the physical principles such as friction and force distribution, using the right securing methods and tools, and adhering to legal regulations and standards. Every shipper is required to follow these rules to ensure safety on the roads.

Specific Methods and Products from BRUGG Lifting

Trucks with open loading areas pose special challenges for cargo securing. Techniques such as diagonal lashing and the use of lashing nets and edge protectors are necessary to secure the cargo under difficult conditions. BRUGG Lifting offers specially developed lashing straps and anti-slip mats that help prevent the cargo from slipping and thus stabilize it.

Methods of Cargo Securing: Direct Lashing and Diagonal Lashing

Direct lashing is a technique where the cargo is pulled down against the loading surface using lashing straps to minimize movement. Diagonal lashing provides additional security by stabilizing the cargo laterally and minimizing the risk of tipping.
