The course covers restraining loads on different types of light vehicles: cars, vans, utes, trailers and light trucks.
As load restraint is a critical part of a driver's responsibilities, companies must ensure that their drivers can restrain a load safely.
The course covers the foundation and principles of load security through to specific practical advice and techniques:
- How to use load securing devices such as ratchet straps (strops)
- Load balance and distribution
- Understanding freight symbols
- Collecting and delivering a load
- Choosing the right vehicle
- Maximum dimensions and weights
Module selection can be customised to your drivers. For example, if they don't pull a trailer or have a roof rack, simply hide the relevant modules.
These modules are optional if you purchase the course as a company, not if you purchase it as an individual.
