Load Security Driver CPC & Transport Training
Walter Hunt Ltd
Forging the Future in Load restraint
The Delta Load Secure System is a load restraint system that can prevent situations like this. It can be installed in any HGV at the manufacturing stage or can be retro-fitted to your existing vehicles regardless of body type.

The Delta Load Secure System can remove the risk of lost loads, vehicle damage, vehicle downtime and credibility with your clients.

The irreversible loss of repute which will start with your clients, could culminate on the desk of the Traffic Commissioner with the real possibility of either suspension, revocation or curtailment of your operators licence.
Cargo security is about Road Safety and Road Safety is about getting it right - right from the start - there is no other way.
