Effective load securing starts with choosing equipment rated for the weight, shape and movement risk of the cargo. Check the lashing capacity of ratchet straps, chains and load binders rather than relying on breaking strength alone, and attach them only to suitable load-rated anchor points.
Inspect straps for cuts, damaged stitching and worn fittings before use, and protect webbing from sharp edges with suitable corner protectors. Loads should be distributed evenly, restrained against movement in every relevant direction and checked again during longer journeys as straps and cargo can settle.
