In the logistics industry, proper load securing isn’t just best practice—it’s a legal and safety necessity. Every year, thousands of accidents occur due to poorly secured cargo, leading to damaged goods, road hazards, and costly delays. At Tower Logistics, we take load security seriously—because your safety and reputation depend on it.

Why Proper Load Handling Matters

A poorly secured load can cause:
 Product Damage – Shifting cargo leads to crushed, broken, or spoiled goods
 Road Accidents – Falling debris risks other drivers and triggers major fines
 Legal Consequences – Non-compliance with DVSA & FORS standards means penalties
 Delivery Delays – Accidents or reloading costs hours of downtime

Common Load-Securing Mistakes We Fix

1. Incorrect Strapping & Tensioning

• Problem: Using worn straps or improper tension allows load movement

• Our Solution: Weight-specific strapping protocols + mandatory tension checks

2. Unbalanced Weight Distribution

• Problem: Uneven loads cause trailer instability and rollover risks

• Our Solution: AI Load Planner optimises weight distribution before departure

3. Inadequate Edge Protection

• Problem: Sharp cargo edges cut straps, leading to failures

• Our Solution: High-grade corner protectors and abrasion-resistant materials

4. Ignoring Weather & Road Conditions

• Problem: Wind/rain loosen restraints over long hauls

• Our Solution: Dynamic re-check points on routes + storm-proof securing

5. Untrained Handling Staff

• Problem: Warehouse teams using incorrect tie-down methods

• Our Solution: Training for all loading personnel
