tie-down techniques

Tie-down techniques involve securing loads to prevent movement during transport. This is done using straps, ropes, or chains anchored to the vehicle or trailer. Proper tie-downs are positioned over the cargo's corners or edges and tightened to hold the item firmly in place, minimizing shifting or falling. Techniques include using appropriate tension, cross-lashing for stability, and ensuring safety standards are met to prevent accidents. Correct tie-downs protect the cargo, vehicle, and people, and are essential for safe transportation of goods.
