Load Restraint, Mass & Loading Risk.

Load restraint solutions that improve safety, support compliance and stand up to scrutiny, backed by the expertise that helped shape industry guidance.

The physics

A shifted load is a safety, legal and commercial failure all at once.

Restraint failures injure people, close roads and put directors in the spotlight. We bring restraint design and decades of hands-on experience, including practitioners who helped shape the National Load Restraint Guide, to make sure your freight stays exactly where it should, every trip.

The Load Restraint Guide performance standard: what your restraint must withstand, as a proportion of the weight of the load. Every method we design is calculated and proven against it.

The spec

Calculated, documented, defensible.

Not rules of thumb. Every engagement produces restraint you can run on the dock and defend at an enforcement check.

01

Restraint design & review

Restraint methods designed to meet the Heavy Vehicle National Law performance standards for your specific freight, vehicles and operating conditions.

02

Mass management & compliance

Practical controls that keep every trip within mass and dimension limits.

03

Multi-modal freight risk

Restraint and handling risk across road, rail and sea, managed end to end.

04

Load restraint training

Hands-on training so your loaders and drivers restrain freight correctly, every time.

05

Restraint method statements & evidence

Documented, defensible restraint methods ready for an auditor or the regulator.

How we work

Proven on the dock, not just on paper.

We work where the freight is loaded, test the restraint against the numbers, and build methods your team can repeat. The result is restraint that is both practical for your loaders and defensible to an auditor.
