Kinedyne Cargo Securement Survival Guide
Proper cargo securement can mean the difference between life or death. Imagine a commercial truck carrying heavy building materials, vehicles, supplies, or other freight traveling at a high rate of speed on a busy highway. Now think of what could happen if those loads weren’t properly secured and they fell off the truck into traffic. The results could be disastrous.
In North America, organizations like the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA), Web Sling and Tie Down Association (WSTDA), Transport Canada and Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (Mexico) establish and enforce cargo securement standards and requirements that must be followed. These policies are in place to protect freight, drivers, and the general public. Not only is cargo securement the safe thing to do when hauling freight, it’s the law.
For 55 years, Kinedyne has been dedicated to providing better cargo securement, greater cargo capacity, and faster cargo access to the transportation industry. Kinedyne is an American manufacturer that designs, assembles and safety tests a full line of DOT-compliant cargo control and access solutions.
