How many times have you seen a big truck with an even bigger load trying to negotiate around a tight corner looking like it was going to topple over? Or a flat deck with a load wider than the deck and not looking like it was centered? You can tie it down but if it’s not in the right place to begin with you’re going to have issues.

So why risk it? Know which tie-downs to use and how to safely strap down your load so it does not shift or affect your centre of balance.
