What should be the focus when securing metal coils for transport?

The primary focus when securing metal coils for transport should be on preventing shifting during transport. Metal coils, due to their weight and size, can shift if not properly secured, which can lead to serious safety hazards, including damage to the coils, the vehicle, or even accidents on the road. Adequate securing methods, such as using appropriate tie-downs and ensuring the coils are positioned correctly, are essential for maintaining stability and preventing movement.

While visibility, minimizing tie-down usage, and aesthetics may have some relevance in certain contexts, they are not as critical as ensuring that the load remains stationary during transport. Prioritizing load security helps protect not only the cargo but also the safety of other drivers and the integrity of the delivery process.
