UNSECURED REELS ON WHEELS ARE A HAZARD
Road safety is the responsibility of all road users. As methods change securing systems must also keep pace. This paper sets out the reasons for and methods adapted in conducting a series of load restraint tests devised for securing news print on road vehicles. Every effort was made to simulate, under test conditions the actual effects of violent manoeuvre at urban road speeds and during low speed roll-overs. The objective of the securing system was to contain the load within the confines of the conveying vehicle during the type of incidents specified above. (Author/TRRL)
