Loading, blocking and load securing
One day to load, block and secure goods so that they arrive intact and nobody is hurt when the doors are opened. Forces during braking and cornering, load distribution, centre of gravity, securing means and the pre-departure check are practised on your own vehicles and goods. The course brings drivers, forklift operators, dock staff and transport managers together around the same rules.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for the load?
The consignor, the carrier and the driver each have a role, and how it is shared depends on the contract and the site organisation. The course helps clarify who loads, who secures and who checks before departure in your company.
Does the course also cover light vehicles?
Yes. The physical rules are the same for a delivery van and for a semi-trailer. We adapt the exercises to the vehicles your teams actually load.
Is a vehicle needed on site on the day of the course?
It is necessary for the afternoon. A vehicle at a dock or in a loading area, with the usual goods and the securing equipment available, is enough.
