How to avoid damages in trucks
A truck's breaking distance when the brakes are fully applied is approximately three times as long as that of a car, and approximately twice as long as that of a van.
The forces that impact the load when the brakes are fully applies are tremendous.

Any person who does not respect the performance limits of the vehicle's body must expect significant damage to the vehicle and its load.
Improperly secured cargo in an open space can be turned into a projectile by sharp braking.
Even at 30 km/h, emergency braking generates powerful forces. When a cargo has been improperly secured, these can result in the cargo slipping and causing damage.
Surface adhesion is an important factor when securing cargo. Consequently, a clean surface in the cargo area is the first important step: Soiled surfaces or even an oil film render all securing measures ineffective.
Traction with anti-slip material
Laying anti-slip material increases the load's traction during the transport. Consequently, fewer load restraints are necessary to secure the load.
