What are Load Locks?

Load locks are devices used to secure cargo during transportation. They are typically used in trucking and rail transportation to prevent cargo from shifting or falling during transit. Load locks come in various forms, such as bars, straps, and nets, and are designed to be adjustable to fit different cargo sizes. 

Load locks are an essential safety feature in the shipping industry, as they help prevent cargo damage and accidents during transportation. They also help improve the efficiency of loading and unloading by reducing the time required to secure cargo.
