Shamrock’s Best Practices for Freight Safety

Here’s how our team consistently secures freight the right way:

1. Using the Right Equipment for the Job

We don’t cut corners. Every strap, ratchet, and chain used by our team is regularly inspected, weight-rated, and maintained to ensure peak performance. Our standard is to use equipment that exceeds load weight by at least 20%.

According to safety reports, over 40% of cargo-related transit accidents stem from equipment failure. At Shamrock, that’s a risk we proactively eliminate.

2. Balanced and Even Load Distribution

Proper weight distribution is vital for both safety and vehicle handling. Our experienced loaders ensure that:

• Heavy freight is centered and secured near the axle

• Fragile or lighter goods are placed on top and away from shifting risks

• Load-separating bulkheads are used when transporting mixed freight

Example: For furniture shipments, we place heavy sofas and dressers at the base, with boxed décor or bedding securely packed above.

3. Precise Cargo Securing Without Over-Tightening

We use tensioning tools that allow precise control to avoid compressing sensitive goods while still securing them tightly. Whether it's a commercial appliance, a pallet of produce, or a custom machinery part, our team tailors the securing method to the freight.

4. Preparing for Real-World Road and Weather Conditions

Freight doesn’t travel in ideal conditions. That’s why we continuously monitor road and weather conditions, adjusting our freight protection protocols as needed.

• Waterproof tarps and moisture barriers for sensitive freight

• Anti-slip mats and shock absorbers for bumpy routes

• Route planning to avoid hazardous areas

Weather-related damage accounts for 15% of freight losses. Shamrock helps you stay ahead of the forecast.

Continuous Safety Training for Our Team

Shamrock invests in regular training for our drivers and logistics personnel. From load securing techniques to safety checklists and emergency response, our team is prepared to handle every shipment with care and professionalism.

Our internal studies show that routine training and checklist-based loading protocols have reduced incidents of freight damage by over 25%.
