How Not to Load a Truck-Common Mistake in Logistic

This image shows a common unsafe loading practice in Indonesia: stacking sacks too high and without proper restraints.

In Indonesia, many goods are still loaded manually — especially in rural or small-scale logistics. But unsafe loading methods can damage cargo, delay shipments, or worse: cause road accidents.

In the photo above, sacks are stacked too high, without straps, corner guards, or load bars. The workers are also standing on the load, which is both dangerous and inefficient.

Why this is risky:

• No weight distribution planning
• No load restraints (straps or braces)
• Height exceeds safe stacking limit
• Poor ergonomics for workers
• High risk of collapse during transport

Solusi yang benar:

• Use loading conveyors or dock ramps
• Strap and layer loads evenly
• Keep load height under the truck’s wall height
• Train staff in proper loading techniques
• Use TruckLoader for safer, faster loading
