A sudden braking manoeuvre, sharp curve, or acceleration can cause unsecured cargo to shift dangerously on a transport vehicle. Load securing employs technical measures and devices to fix cargo in place so it resists these forces without shifting, tipping, falling or rolling. Carriers and shippers are legally obliged to secure cargo properly; failure exposes them to liability claims, fines and accident risks.
