When you're moving heavy industrial reels, standard webbing straps alone won't cut it.
You need the complete setup:
✅️ Heavy-duty chocks/cradles
✅️ Friction rubber matting
✅️ High-capacity chain lashings
✅️ Proper edge protection
If a chock shifts or a strap fails on a bend, that rolling mass will shear through standard webbing in seconds.
Under DVSA guidance, both the driver and the operator are on the hook if a load ends up on the carriageway.
Everyone got away lucky this time—no injuries reported.
If you're ever in doubt about load security calculations, do your research before rolling out of the yard.
