Transport

Parts Stop stocks transport spares — road train, oversize, long vehicle and DNOTV signage from Artcraft and Sign Chief, load restraint from Maxus, Austlift, Lock & Load and Monkey Grip, ratchet straps and tie-downs, mudflaps, Britax truck mirrors and Air CTI tyre inflation. On the shelf, ready to go.

Two things on this shelf are regulated, and both are worth getting right. Signage for road trains, oversize and long vehicle combinations has to meet the Australian Standard and carry the right certification to be legal — a sign that doesn't will cost you at a roadside check. And load restraint is rated: every strap, chain and lashing point has a working load limit, and it has to suit the weight of the load, not just fit around it. An occy strap holds a tarp down; it doesn't restrain a load.
