Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), you must comply with the loading requirements.
To meet the loading requirements the heavy vehicle must be loaded:
- in a way that load placement does not make the heavy vehicle unsafe or unstable
- in a way that the load is not likely to fall or be dislodged from the vehicle
- using an appropriate system to restrain the load.
The NHVR also publishes loading guides which are tips and tricks to help industry better understand the principles of good load restraint.
