How To Secure Containers On Flatbed

Position of the container


Container securement:


  • All lower corners of the container are placed on the flatbed

  • Or the corners are supported by a construction, which can withstand the weight of the container. Independently secure the support construction to the vehicle. 



To secure a container to a flatbed trailer, 2 types of tie down are used: Straps and Chains.


Container securement:


  • On a 20ft. container use no less than 2 straps over the top of the container with a chain on the front and back.

  •  On a 40ft. container use no less than 3 straps over the top of the container with a chain on the front and back.
