With Rameders tips for load securing and theft protection

“All secured”, is easier said than done. But loads can slip away and this can lead to major road accidents. And anti-theft devices are also of huge importance. With more than 20 years of automotive transport experience under its belt, Rameder is able to give you tips when it comes to securing your load and preventing theft.

First of all, never exceed the permitted total. If you use a trailer, you also have to take account of your towing capacity, admissible total weight and bearing load. And when carrying heavy loads, you must also drive even more carefully. The braking distance, for example, might well be longer now. So, try to take account of what may happen on the road, ahead of you. And beware cross winds, which may have a huge impact. Trailers with a high CoG therefore require slow speeds.

A deficient load restraint is another frequent mistake. And yet, it is very easy to restraint your load as laid down by law. For trailers, use safety nets and lashing straps. Heavy objects should always be placed near the axles and empty spaces be filled.

Anti-theft protection is also very important. Parked trailers in particular are at risk of being stolen. Box locks that prevent any unauthorised movement can help. If you want to protect the roof box or bicycles on carriers, make sure that the products in question can be locked to prevent thieves from accessing your valuable property. This will avoid nasty surprises.

When it comes to load restraint and anti-theft protection, always follow the motto, “better safe than sorry”. After all, with the right accessories and preparation and with a careful and defensive way of driving, problems here can be easily avoided.
