Load Restraints

A proper load restraint system is one of the most important aspects of road safety while transporting heavy goods. Without proper load restraint systems, other drivers and pedestrians are at risk of serious injury.

It is an offence in Australia to carry a heavy load without a certified, secured load restraint in place.

There is a lot of information on the subject, but all official government advice centres around the five, general principles of load restraint. These principles are legally enforced and anyone found not abiding by them faces prosecution.
