On double deck trailers the best thing to do is ratchet strap anything on the bottom deck and just use the internals on the upper deck. Anything going up top should only be light, and if under 400kg can be secured by internals.

Thanks Terry.
By the way is there any legislation coming in on the weight of pallets ie labelling? TBH a lot of pallet’s have a weight displayed by the pallet boys network on them (its how they charge in part), but not easy to find depending on how the pallet and its ticket was loaded (ticket facing inward, rear, forward or outward).
It’s not always accurate either as mainly its a customer inputting that data and it doesn’t have time time be verified (unless it’s very obviously wrong).
Very occasionally in a dead spot during the day I’ve seen Palletforce weighing a sample using weighing forks but there’s absolutely zero chance of that happening during peak hours when things are flying in and out and all about.
Same thing regards to pallet spaces. Many times the one space pallet has been oversized or a double pallet and so on but its then up to the operator to prove it and change it when many don’t have the time or inclination and its easier to let it slide.
