Using internal load straps

Here’s a post (and pic) I made the other day in another topic, you won’t go far wrong if you strap the last two pallets like this with internals…

Reef:
The way I’ve always strapped the last two whether it’s cans, bottles or anything else with internals was to get the last left and right strap and cross them over and fasten them half way along the back two pallets, then get the second to last two internal straps and cross them over and through the pallets and then secure them in front of the other internals hooks, never had a spilt load or bulging curtains and I used to do plenty of RDC and Brewery work.

If the load looked like it was likely to have any left right movement then I’d strap every other one or even every row like the orange straps in my diagram, remember this was before the rated load restraining curtains, though tbh I’d still base it on how heavy or wobbly the load was even with them load bearing curtains.

Quite hard to put into words but luckily I’m quite prepared to potch around in Paintshop :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually I tell a lie, in my early class 2 days I had on groupage and it was xmas wrapping paper and I had tipped part of the load and didn’t have far to go till my next drop I was too lazy and in too much of a rush to re-strap the last two… I learn’t a good lesson that there day :blush:
