The Art of Load Distribution
Balancing Act: Load distribution is a vital aspect of heavy haul transportation. Properly distributing the weight across the vehicle and trailer axles ensures stability and minimizes the risk of tipping or imbalance. Before transporting a load we'll dive into the mathematical calculations and techniques used to determine the ideal load distribution for various types of cargo.
Tie-Down Techniques: Mastering the Basics
Hold it Down: The proper application of tie-down techniques is crucial in preventing load shifting and maintaining load integrity during transport. By covering the basics of selecting the right tie-down equipment, calculating the necessary number of tie-downs, and effectively securing different types of cargo we can ensure each load is properly secured.
Securing Oddly Shaped and Oversized Loads
Think Outside the Box: Creativity and expertise come into play when transporting oddly shaped or oversized loads. Whether while camping with friends outside of work or on our social channels we will often share real-life stories of some of the most challenging loads we've transported, from massive machinery to unusual sculptures, and how we used innovative tie-down techniques to get them safely to their destination.
