Cargo securing on road vehicles


4. Securing methods (7/9)

Plastic wrap versus strap fastening

Strap fastening or plastic wrap? When used for light freight, the usage of plastic wrapping is recommended.
For heavy shipping units, securing with straps should be the preferred method. Sufficient strapping prevents premature slipping of the cargo.
Plastic wrapping is fast and reliable, e.g. for light goods, such as pallets under 100 kg per pallet.
