Securing a load will have different requirements depending on the load to be secured, type of vehicle and even some very specific rules for securing certain loads. Generally, for dry vans and reefers, straps, load bars or shoring beams will be used, or any combination of these securement devices. Understanding what each can or cannot do is critical to proper securement. Each securement device, whether it is a strap, load bar or shoring beam (decking beam), has a weight rating. You must know the weight of the cargo to be secured in order to use a sufficient means of securement.
