Safe transportation of luggage in the car

Safe transportation of luggage in the car The car is ideal for transporting various kinds of goods or items that help us actively spend our free time outside the city. Warmer days are calling for travel, so what's the safest way to transport your luggage inside and outside your car in the safest way and in accordance with regulations?

Safe transportation of luggage in the car“If our luggage fits in the car, then there are no contraindications associated with its transportation. The only thing that limits us is the capacity of the luggage compartment and the weight of the luggage. The latter, in the case of vacation trips, hardly matters. When packing the load, remember not to restrict the visibility and freedom of the driver or otherwise endanger our safety, i.e. items must be secured from moving. When assembling a car for a vacation, you should also pay attention to the weight of individual bags. The heaviest items should be placed as low as possible. This counteracts understeer and oversteer in corners. The large mass at the very end of the car can cause the rear wheels to skid when cornering, while the front wheels can hardly flex,” says Marek Godziska, Technical Director of Auto-Boss.

Carrying goods or equipment outside of a vehicle requires more responsibility and attention to detail. Remember that the load must not exceed the permissible axle loads of the vehicle, impair its stability, interfere with driving or limit the view of the road, block lights and license plates. Too much weight placed on the roof rack can cause the vehicle to tilt. The instability of the movement in the worst case during sharp maneuvers can lead to the vehicle tipping over.

“The best form of bicycle transport is a platform attached to a tow hook. In this type of transport, special attention should be paid to the convenience, speed of assembly and disassembly of the platform itself, as well as bicycles. The advantage of this type of cycling is ergonomics and a high level of safety. Mounting on most models is done without tools. After installing the bikes, thanks to the tilt system, we still have access to the trunk. There are platform manufacturers who offer to expand their products with additional accessories, such as a box instead of a roof, to a platform or skis that we do not need to carry on the roof, only on an extended bike platform with a suitable attachment. . When buying this type of car accessories, you should focus on quality, that is, buy products only from well-known companies,” says Grzegorz Biesok, Auto-Boss accessories sales manager.
