Load Restraint Requirements for Tautliners

Tautliners are widely used throughout the Australian transport industry because they provide convenient side access for loading and unloading freight.

However, the curtain itself should not automatically be treated as the primary means of restraining a load. Freight needs to be appropriately restrained for the vehicle, load and transport conditions involved.

Drivers and operators therefore need to consider how the freight is positioned, what restraint equipment is required and whether the load can remain secure throughout the journey.

Making Restraint Easier for Drivers

One challenge with curtain-sided vehicles is getting restraint straps into position efficiently.

Repeatedly throwing straps over freight can become physically demanding, particularly when drivers perform the same movement throughout their working week.

The StrapNGo Load Restraint System provides an alternative approach by helping guide and manage the straps on compatible curtain-sided trucks and trailers.

This can make the restraint process more organised while reducing unnecessary repetitive handling.
