Methods of securing cargo in road transport – what is worth knowing and which one to choose?
Don’t know how to properly effectively secure cargo in transport? Appropriate securing of cargo for transport is not only important for other road users and cargo stabilization, but also applicable legal issues.
What are the ways of securing cargo in transport? Ways of securing cargo in transport used at Trans-Tok include:
- chain lashings serve to immobilize heavy loads and ensure that they do not have the possibility to move in transport.
- transport belts for immobilizing various types of loads
- beams
- securing loads using anti-slip mats.
To increase the safety of transported goods in transport – the carrier should always choose appropriate methods to not only increase cargo safety, but also ensure the driver’s safety. Moreover, the so-called transport conditions by the carrier depending on the specificity of the transported cargo are not insignificant for the selection of the appropriate method.
Therefore, the carrier should decide whether e.g. blocking or the use of anti-slip mats will be better depending on the size and specificity of the transported cargo. Preparation of cargo for transport cannot exceed the permissible total weight of the vehicle or the maximum axle load of the vehicle. Moreover, the carrier must remember when securing the cargo about very precise protection in such a way that the cargo does not change its position and is not exposed to shocks that could damage it. The carrier is responsible for the safety of the cargo and other goods during transport.

Loading and unloading of goods in transport must be carried out with special precautions and in such a way that the cargo does not suffer, which is why it is so important that these activities are performed slowly.
Safety of cargo in transport and its proper securing – what standard regulates it?
In our country, since 2004, the PN-EN 12195 standard has been in force, which regulates all ways and methods of correct securing of various types of cargo for transport. This standard specifies in detail how to correctly use security systems and various types of blocking devices that are necessary to secure loads.
Depending on the size, weight of the cargo and the specificity of the transported cargo in transport, various types of securities are used to increase the safety of the transported cargo in transport.
Therefore, the carrier always secures various types of loads using special objects so that the transported load does not suddenly change its position nor occupy too much space in the semi-trailer and does not damage the others during transport. Securing goods using selected methods not only effectively protects the load during transport, but also does not allow it to move in the loading space of the vehicle during transport.
