What is the difference between restraint and containment?
Unrestrained Load Fines
Did you know? A load on a heavy vehicle must: not be placed in a way that makes the vehicle unstable or unsafe; be secured so it is unlikely to fall or be dislodged. Safeguard Cargo Nets help secure your loads no matter the size and be restrained. Australian laws require you to meet a certain standard when restraining your load. Failure to meet this standard will result in penalties and fines, perhaps loss of license depending on your state.
How do I size my Cargo Net to suit my application?
It is as simple as measuring the area you would like to cover, and then working out how and what you are carrying for the height. The Safeguard Cargo Nets do not stretch as they are a load restraint so the net must be larger so it can go up and over the load.
