How to Secure Loads Inside an Enclosed Trailer

Knowing how to secure loads inside an enclosed trailer is important so that your belongings arrive at the final destination undamaged and ready to use. There are many ways to secure loads, but there is only one way that will ensure that everything on the trailer is unable to move around and knock against other objects in the trailer. If you need to secure loads for transport, follow these steps and your loads will arrive in the same condition that they were in when you loaded them up on the trailer.

Instructions

    • 1

      Load your first item on the trailer. Heavier items should be loaded first. Throw a blanket wrap around the item and secure it with rope.

    • 2

      Move the item to the desired spot on the trailer. This will be in the back of the trailer either in the left or right corner.

    • 3

      Look at the wall of the trailer and you will see boards on the walls with holes every few feet. This is where you will tie the tie-down straps or attach the bungee cord. Place the tie around the item and tie or attach to the wall board on each side of the item.

    • 4

      Place the next item in the next corner and cover. Use a tie strap or a bungee cord to secure this item.

    • 5

      Place the next item in between the two corner items. Cover the item and secure to the wallboard with a tie or bungee cord. Try to make the items fit together tightly instead of loose-fitting.

    • 6

      Continue placing items on the trailer and securing the wall items. The remaining middle items should fit snug so that there is no room for movement.
