Secure the load for the journey ahead.
Securing requirements depend on the actual load and equipment. Share the cargo details before a method or price is proposed. Materials, labour, handling and any requested records should be identified in the agreed scope.
Information to include with your enquiry
- Cargo dimensions, weight and centre-of-gravity information when available
- Drawings, photographs and approved lifting or securing points
- Container or transport equipment details
- Packing condition and the planned transport route
Agree the method, materials and records
Identify the cargo’s support and securing points, transport equipment and intended route. Loading and securing need to be considered together; dimensions alone do not establish a suitable arrangement.
The written scope should identify the handling, materials and labour, together with any required photographs, independent survey or technical review. Confirm responsibility for each element before loading starts.
GOOD TO KNOW
Your questions, answered.
Can lashing be included with vehicle or oversized-cargo shipping?
Yes. Supply the vehicle or cargo details, equipment and route. The team reviews loading, support and securing as part of the proposed shipment.
Are survey reports or certificates included automatically?
No. Identify any required report, survey or supporting document at the enquiry stage so its scope, responsible party and cost can be confirmed.
