Driving during winter can be a dangerous task for any driver, especially for a truck that’s carrying several tons of heavy-duty cargo. A seemingly small patch of black ice can be deadly for drivers. Extra precautions need to be taken all throughout winter, whether it’s snowing or not. With a little extra planning and advanced preparation, taking on winter this year might not be as much of a challenge as before.
The International Roadcheck has come and gone this year, but that doesn’t mean that safety has come and gone as well.
There are plenty of things that your flatbed trailer needs: tie downs, ratchets, cam buckles, chains, cables, tarps, winches, d-rings, etc. In order to securely and properly tie down your cargo, you need at least some combination of these items. But how about some of the stuff that aren’t necessarily required to secure your load, but they help you secure your load a bit easier?
There are plenty of end fittings in the cargo control industry. A bit too many. In fact, the number of hooks and rings and anchors there are out there can be overwhelming at best. There are end fittings that hook, that snap, that twist, that keep, and that secure. There are end fittings made from heat-treated carbon steel and stainless steel. There are end fittings coated in a zinc plated finish and in a galvanized finish.
Covering your valuable cargo with a tarp is a common way to prevent your load from being exposed to severe outdoor conditions for too long. But you’re going to need some sturdy tarp ties to keep that tarp secured. Tarp ties are very simple devices. A stretchy piece of rubber hose is combined with a sturdy pair of S Hooks to create an effective method of keeping your tarp from flapping in the wind. They’re available in a variety of different lengths to accommodate almost any sized load.
When it is time to outfit your enclosed trailer and transform the walls and floors into durable holding points, you need to decide which Logistic Track you want to use: Series E, Series A, Series F, or Series L. They may all seem the same, but knowing the difference can essentially change how you’ll secure your cargo.
A trustworthy tensioning device can make all the difference when it comes to properly securing your cargo. They’re an essential piece to the whole tie down assembly. Besides winches, two of the most common devices are Ratchet Buckles and Cam Buckles, available in a variety of different sizes and styles. Deciding which one to use for securing your load requires some planning beforehand.
