PRINTABLE TOWCHECK CHECKLIST

Cargo securement recheck checklist

Use this planning aid alongside the exact manufacturer documentation and qualified inspection appropriate to your equipment.

1. □Confirm that every tie-down strap and anchor point has a legible Working Load Limit label
2. □Inspect straps for cuts, fraying, chemical damage, or UV degradation
3. □Verify all hook connections are fully seated in anchor points and locked if applicable
4. □Calculate aggregate WLL to ensure it is at least 50% of the total cargo weight
5. □Tighten all ratchet straps to eliminate slack and secure excess loose webbing
6. □Recheck tension after driving the first 50 miles, or after any sudden stops or terrain changes
7. □Ensure cargo is blocked, braced, or locked to prevent shifting during transit
8. □Verify trailer or vehicle cargo tie-down angles are between 30 and 60 degrees for optimal vector hold
