Cargo Secure

Load restraint
you can stand behind.

Australia's fastest, most intuitive load restraint app — built to replace the guesswork and the NTC Load Restraint Guide. Two calculators guide your team through every load and produce a signed, defensible record before the wheels turn.

Designed and built in Australia. Works on site. Works in the yard. Built for gloves, not keyboards.

What you get

Everything you need for defensible load restraint.

Cargo Secure does the heavy lifting on compliance — built around the NTC Load Restraint Guide and Australian standards, so your team can focus on the load, not the paperwork.

01

Intuitive and fast

A single guided screen for each load. No flipping through the book, no spreadsheets, no guesswork. Your crew can be confident they've got it right.

02

Built-in validation

The calculator checks restraint in every direction before the load leaves the yard. Your team sees a clear pass or fail — no interpretation needed.

03

Audit-ready records

Every record is time-stamped, GPS-tagged and signed. When you get audited, the evidence is already there — no chasing paperwork after the fact.

04

Smart recommendations

Not enough restraints? The app suggests alternatives — switch to chains, use different load binders, increase friction, or block against the headboard. One tap to update and check again.

05

Photo evidence

Drivers photograph each load as part of the workflow. Faster than writing a justification, and the visual record speaks for itself.

06

Transparency across your team

Operators see what they need to load. Supervisors see the exceptions. Compliance sees everything — without having to stand in the yard and watch.

Use Cases

Built for the people who keep freight moving.

Three roles, three different needs. One tool that saves time for all of them — without adding another process to anyone's day.

On-the-ground operators

No more flipping through the guide.

Drivers and loaders follow a short, guided sequence. The calculations happen in the background — all they see is a clear pass or fail. Fast, easy, done.

  • Guided step-through with large, tappable fields — built for gloves, not a keyboard
  • Take a photo of the load as part of the workflow
  • Clear pass or fail — no need to flip through the NTC Load Restraint Guide

Compliance & admin teams

Audit-ready before anyone asks.

Every record is already filed, searchable, and exportable. When the regulator calls, the answer is a search and a click — not a scramble.

  • Searchable archive of every load, every signer, every decision
  • One-click PDF and CSV export for audits and investigations
  • Role-based access so the right people see the right layer

How it works

Two calculators.
One defensible record.

Choose Tie-Down or Direct Restraint — whichever fits the job. Cargo Secure walks your team through the inputs and handles the calculations. Simple.

1

Pick your method

Tie-Down for friction-based lashings over the load. Direct Restraint for chains connected to anchor points. The app tells you which one fits if you're not sure.

2

Enter the load details

The app guides you through what it needs — vehicle, cargo, weight, restraints. It validates as you go, so there are no surprises at the end.

3

Save and send

Sign it, snap a photo, and email or print the PDF. The record sits in your audit trail whether you're online or not.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How does it know how many restraints I need?

You walk through a short, guided sequence — load weight, lashing type, angle, and whether the load is blocked. The app runs the calculation against the NTC Load Restraint Guide and gives you a clear pass or fail. If it doesn't pass, it suggests alternatives like switching to chains, using different load binders, or increasing friction — one tap to update and check again.

Which load restraint method does it use?

Both. Cargo Secure has two calculators — Tie-Down (for friction-based lashings like webbing straps over the load) and Direct Restraint (for chains connected directly to anchor points). You pick whichever fits the job, or the app can guide you. Both are built around the NTC Load Restraint Guide.

What evidence does it produce?

A signed, time-stamped, GPS-tagged PDF for every load — including photos. Records cover the operator, the load details, the method used, the validation result, and the signature. Everything you'd need if you were audited, produced before anyone asks.

How does white-labelling work?

Three tiers. Tier 1 applies your colours and logo to the standard shell. Tier 2 adds your typography and custom PDF templates. Tier 3 is the full custom build — SSO, TMS integration, bespoke workflows, branded end-to-end. Most organisations start at Tier 1 or 2 and grow from there.

Will it integrate with our existing systems?

Yes — at the enterprise level, Cargo Secure can connect to your TMS and other operational systems. We'll scope the integration work with your ops and IT teams as part of the rollout.

What about the technical details behind the calculations?

Cargo Secure's calculations are built by Australian engineers who know the NTC Load Restraint Guide inside and out — covering g-force thresholds, friction coefficients, and performance standards across all restraint directions. If you'd like to dig into the methodology, get in touch and we'll connect you with our technical team.
