securing lwt in van?

[spiderj]

Had to mention it in work time brainwashing today
Surely the trolley should be secure
Anyone know the relevant road traffic bit?

But it's all good
World class mail team looking into it

I think we should all be issued with bungee cords. I have seen LWT secured upright using bungee cords - there is a bit of metal across at the back as part of seats or divider?

Surely the trolley should be secure

Why?

...are the bags, and boxes?

Road traffic act 1989
The wording is pretty ambiguous
I'd rather know than not know

I suggested a while ago when we first started using trollies that perhaps a simple compartment/shelf could be made in the back of the van using mdf, you could then slide two trollies under it and the bags of mail etc would go on top so would actually not take up too much space and more importantly stop your bags getting covered in mud/dog shite.

Dom couldn't be arsed so that idea went the same way as anything else that gets suggested.

Who's LWT got blown over today in the high winds

We deliver near a park and dog mess is a big problem. You try to avoid it but it does get on the wheels sometimes. Some sort of Clip/Strap/Bungee cord/fitting keeping the lwt trolleys upright on the side near the back door would help to keep this s**t off the bags.
