FIX Truck-Safe®

Truck-Safe saves time on each loading and unloading be linked to remote control. The driver does not even need to get out of the cab during loading and unloading. Thanks to the suspended cargo-securing cover, the cargo space is always ready for loading.

Our customers estimate that the automatic lashing system saves up to 60 minutes per trip, compared to situations where the cargo is manually secured with a lashing strap. The system delivers the most cost-effective results and saves the most time in shuttle transport with multiple loadings and unloadings.

Truck-Safe offers the ability to secure cargo by adjusting the tension at the different tightening points. It monitors the tension level and automatically re-tightens when needed. Truck-Safe uses our FIX Road® cargo securing system, which is highly suitable for the securing of various kinds of goods (e.g. rolls, items on pallets, bales, sheet goods, sacks and octabins).

The cover is pulled over the whole cargo in such a way that its tension is distributed evenly, allowing for optimal lashing. The cargo is held together even if it is uneven and consists of multiple separate and differently-sized parts.

The German certification and testing company DEKRA has tested and approved the FIX cargo-securing system for beverages and paper, among other things.

The cargo-securing cover is manufactured from soft but durable material that optimally adapts its shape according to the cargo, even in cold weather. The durable material protects the cargo from rain, dirt, heat and UV rays, and ensures that the shipment remains undamaged.

Truck-Safe is manufactured and tested according to the EN 12195-2 standard, and meets all national requirements as well as all requirements of EU legislation, for the securing of cargo. Calculations show that our cargo-securing system does an excellent job of withstanding the force that cargo is exposed to in various forms of transport and on various routes. The lashing capacity (LC) for each anchor point on the cargo-securing cover is 2,500 daN.

For a number of years, we have had our cargo-securing solutions certified for various types of cargo, and we serve our customers by performing customer-specific cargo-securing calculations (see FIX Solutions). If cargo is secured the right way, it is also possible to prevent accidents. According to the European Best Practice Guidelines for Cargo Securing, approximately 25% of trucking accidents may be due to inadequate securing of cargo.

The durable and specially-woven material of Truck-Safe reduces the need to protect the load against surface pressure and weather and helps transport companies lessen their environmental impact. We have also measured out and manufactured the covers and securing straps so that they do not easily get dirty and never get stuck underneath the cargo. These features contribute to a long lifespan for the whole apparatus. The oldest Truck-Safe systems were installed as early as 2013 and are still in use today.

The covering allows for reliable securing of cargo without edge protectors or other single-use materials that would otherwise be used to protect the cargo. Damages to packing are also reduced, allowing for more efficient re-use of packing material.

What benefits can I get by using automatic cargo securing?

– FIX Truck-Safe system is fully automatic, remote controlled cargo securing for frequent shuttle transports, where time spent for proper cargo securing is of importance. Securing a cargo after loading can be done within one minute and releasing even faster. It can also be done remotely from the driver’s cabin, even with a radio controller. Combined with automatic loading / unloading removes the need for the driver to leave the cabin.
