Getting the cargo on the trailer correctly is as critical as the journey itself. Incorrect load securing, poor weight distribution, or the wrong platform selection creates risk of cargo damage, structural harm to the vehicle and road infrastructure, regulatory non-compliance, and in serious cases, convoy accidents.
Our load consulting service provides engineering-level advice before you commit to a transport plan. We assess the cargo characteristics — geometry, weight, centre of gravity, fragility — and recommend the appropriate transport platform, securing method, and weight distribution configuration.
We also assess compliance with EU regulations governing load securing, maximum axle loads, and platform configuration. This advisory work often prevents costly late-stage changes to transport plans and keeps permit applications accurate from the start.
Load consulting can be delivered as a standalone assessment for clients who have their own transport providers, or as the first step in a fully managed STEE transport package.
When you need this
Load consulting is recommended for any cargo with unusual geometry, high value, fragility, or extreme weight. It is particularly valuable when planning the first transport of a new cargo type, or when dealing with cargo dimensions that approach infrastructure limits.
