Improve Your Service with Hydraulic Cargo Load Bars
Imagine receiving negative feedback from your customer due to damage inflicted on goods and packages while in transit. Some negative feedback is easy to remedy. However, this issue is one which causes a trickle-down effect. The best-case scenario for you in this situation is issuing your customer an exchange or refund. This can result in unintended shipping costs. The worst-case scenario is loss of customer confidence in your ability to deliver non-defective goods.
If you have ever experienced this situation, you can likely relate to the feeling of embarrassment and lack of control associated with this type of feedback. If you have yet to encounter such a circumstance, you’re lucky. So, what’s the remedy for preventing damage to your goods and packages during transit?
Using a cargo load bar is your best solution to the problem of shipping mishaps. C.P. Lauman Co. is proud to offer hydraulic cargo load bars from Save-A-Load®. After reading this post, visit our Save-A-Load® brand page to view our full assortment.

The Benefits of Hydraulic Cargo Load Bars
As mentioned above, receiving unsatisfactory feedback from your customers has the potential for loss of business and confidence. Packages become damaged in transit when they are loaded improperly on your truck or trailer. In addition to damaged goods, and less than satisfactory service, improper loading leads to open space left between the cargo and walls of a trailer or truck.
Such open space in your vehicle leaves room for goods to become unstable. While in transit, sudden jerks, vibrations, potholes, and even slight shifts may be detrimental to pallets, boxes, or heavy equipment. Here’s where hydraulic cargo load bars come in handy. The purpose for a cargo load bar is to brace the cargo against the wall of the truck. Simple right?
Well, the Save-A-Load® SL-30 and SL-10 series hydraulic cargo bars alleviate the issue of your product sliding around due to empty space. According to Fleet Engineers who manufactures Save-A-Load®, these products are, “the only hydraulic cargo bar manufacturer with heavy duty coil spring and pressure limiting valve(s) that hold position even when trailer walls flex due to road conditions, vibrations, or temperature fluctuations.”
Why Choose Save-A-Load®?
Besides being easy to use and simple to install, Save-A-Load® bars are made in the U.S.A. They are also considered to be the premier bars in the industry. The hydraulic cylinder pump is uniquely engineered to keep the bar from being over pumped, which prevents trailer wall or roof damage. These lightweight bars offer articulating ends allowing for install either on the sidewalls of your truck or from floor to ceiling.

In addition to your hydraulic cargo bars, hoop sets, and accompanying necessities, combine cargo straps with your cargo control equipment as well.
