It's hard to overstate the importance of good-quality load restraint products. Ratchet straps, bungee cords and the like are most commonly used to secure large loads on HGVs and other vehicles, and as you can imagine, the consequences of failing to properly secure a large load can be grave indeed.

Take, for example, this story from the Daily Mail:

"A river of beer flowed for several hundred metres down this German motorway after a juggernaut crashed, spilling 25 tons of crates on to the road."

Had somebody been a little more thorough with the load restraint procedures, all that beer might have been saved. And if you're not a beer person, perhaps these rather alarming YouTube videos will convince you:

It's easy to laugh at videos like this, but load restraint is a serious matter: heavy loads falling from lorries can, and often do, cause serious injury and worse.
