What is the topmost priority of transport truck drivers? Transporting the cargo to the final destination, without any damages, while keeping their safety in mind. This can be accomplished only when drivers have installed essential tools in their trucks. One such tool is a cargo bar, which is also known as a load bar. Such bars are used to secure the load and prevent load shift during the transport. As different loads are upload in a different way, load bars have been developed in order to improve the safety of load and driver, both. Here, we have mentioned common types of load bars:
Load Lock Bars- One of the quick ways to secure cargo in a pickup truck is the installation of load lock bars. There is a rubber foot pad on each bar which is either welded or bolted to the end, depending on the driver’s preference. The rubber pads allow the ends to firmly settled on the vehicle’s walls. You have to check for every piece, every time you load cargo, to avoid damage or slippage. Generally, you get plenty of customization options in size and strength to fit your specification requirements. For lighter loads, consider Aluminum made load bars while for heavy loads, consider standard or heavy-duty steel.
Jack Load Bars - These bars are similar to Jack Load Bars. The only difference is a jack is used to apply the pressure which stabilizes the ends of the bars on the sidewalls of the truck. It is an advantage as the user can firmly secure the bars to the outside walls using the jack. However, the user has to be extra careful as excessive pressure may cause serious damage to the sidewalls. These bars are available in round and square versions.
E-track Load Bars- When you want to make the most out of the available space, E-track load bars are the solution. These bars can be used just like the normal load bar to separate the load. Also, the user can create multiple levels or optimize the space to utilize every inch of space in the best way. This versatile tool offers cargo control and prevents load shift, during transportation. Truck drivers have limitations to how much they can haul to their trucks. With E-track shoring beams, they can use the unusable space and maximize the amount of load to be carried.
