Responsibility starts with the right equipment
Understanding CoR and Transport Stands
In the world of heavy vehicle transport, safety isn’t just about what happens on the road, it begins well before the truck pulls away. That’s where the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) comes in. Under Heavy Vehicle National Law, CoR ensures that everyone in the transport supply chain is accountable for safety, not just the driver behind the wheel.
When it comes to moving equipment, components and more, load restraint is critical. That’s why we take our role seriously in designing and manufacturing custom transport stands that meet the highest engineering, safety and performance standards.
Why CoR Matters for Transport Stands
Transport stands are often used to secure, support, or stabilise equipment during transit. Improperly designed or poorly maintained stands can compromise load restraint, leading to risk of injury, equipment damage or legal liability.
Under CoR, parties involved in the handling, loading, and transport of goods including manufacturers, packers, loaders, operators and consignors are legally required to take reasonable steps to ensure safe transport. That includes ensuring that equipment like stands are:
- Fit for purpose and compliant with relevant standards
- Used correctly to secure and support loads
- Maintained regularly and inspected for wear or damage
- Supported by proper training and documentation
