We prioritize the safe and efficient transport of your goods, whether by truck, rail, or ship. Our Ground Cargo services ensure that your cargo is properly secured and grounded throughout its journey, minimizing the risk of damage, accidents, or safety hazards.
Grounding cargo isn’t just about securing it physically. It also involves ensuring that any static electricity or electrical charge is properly dissipated to avoid sparking, particularly in industries where flammable or explosive materials are transported.
Ensure the use of conductive grounding straps or chains to connect the cargo to the ground to discharge any static electricity. These should be in good condition and rated for the type of cargo being transported.
For certain types of cargo, like hazardous materials, grounding mats may be placed beneath the cargo to help dissipate static charges.
Heavy-duty tie-down straps, ropes, or chains are essential for keeping cargo stationary and preventing any shifting during transit. These should be inspected for any frays, cuts, or signs of wear before use.
Use the correct number of tie-downs and ensure that the straps or chains are taut but not over-tightened. If securing a particularly heavy load, use more tie-downs to distribute the load evenly across the vehicle.
Make sure that all tie-downs are attached to the vehicle’s secure anchor points to avoid damage to the cargo or transport vehicle.
