In professional transport operations, efficient and reliable cargo control is essential. The SAM 55 load lock bar is designed for fast, flexible and durable load securing in vans, box bodies and high-roof commercial vehicles. It helps keep cargo in position without complex installation and is especially useful when loads change frequently during the working day.
What is a load lock bar and when is it useful?
A load lock bar for vans is a telescopic cargo restraint bar that is clamped securely between two stable surfaces inside the load area. It helps prevent goods from sliding, tipping or shifting during transport and is a practical solution for daily use in delivery vans, service vehicles and commercial fleets.
A load lock bar is especially useful:
- for changing loads that need flexible securing
- in refrigerated vehicles and temperature-sensitive transport applications
- for boxes, parcels and loose cargo that should not be directly strapped down
- when fast loading and unloading is important
SAM 55 load lock bar for professional van load securing
The load lock bar by allsafe is built for professional use in commercial vehicles. It features a patented strap tensioning mechanism, an integrated telescopic brake and a strong aluminium construction. This combination creates a durable and dependable load securing solution for demanding day-to-day transport tasks.
One of the key advantages of this model is the internal strap system. Because the strap runs inside the bar, it is well protected during use. This is especially beneficial in refrigerated vehicles and low-temperature environments, where conventional components can become more vulnerable over time.
The integrated spring function helps compensate for movement inside the load area while driving. This improves holding stability and supports reliable cargo restraint even when the vehicle is exposed to vibrations, uneven roads or frequent braking.

Suitable for vans, box bodies and refrigerated vehicles
The load lock bar can be used in many common commercial vehicles and is particularly useful where cargo must be secured quickly and flexibly without permanently installed fittings. Typical applications include box bodies based on vans as well as high-roof panel vans such as the Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, MAN TGE, Fiat Ducato, Iveco Daily and Renault Master.
It is also a popular solution in refrigerated vans, where the protected internal strap system is a clear practical advantage. This makes the SAM 55 especially attractive for demanding cold-chain and temperature-controlled transport environments.
Load lock bar vs. lashing strap
A load lock bar is ideal when cargo needs to be separated, supported or held in position quickly. Unlike a traditional lashing strap, it does not secure the goods by wrapping around them. Instead, it creates holding force through clamping pressure between stable contact points in the vehicle.
This makes it a smart choice for cartons, containers, parcels and many other types of cargo that should remain accessible and should not be directly strapped down. In many professional transport setups, a load lock bar is a practical addition to standard cargo securing equipment.
Important installation note
Important: When tensioning the cargo bar, always make sure it is placed against a stable and load-bearing surface. The feet must never be positioned directly on outer body sheet metal or between roof cross members. A secure and suitable support surface is essential for safe and reliable holding performance.

Frequently asked questions about the load lock bar for vans
Which vehicles is this load lock bar suitable for?
This load lock bar is suitable for many panel vans, box bodies and high-roof commercial vehicles. Typical applications include the Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, MAN TGE, Fiat Ducato, Iveco Daily and Renault Master, provided the internal width is within the adjustment range of 1,850 to 2,300 mm.
Why is an internal strap mechanism an advantage?
An internal strap mechanism is better protected during daily use and is especially well suited for refrigerated vehicles. Thanks to its protected design, the system remains reliable even at low temperatures and is less exposed to external influences.
Can the cargo bar also be installed vertically?
Yes, the cargo bar can be installed both horizontally and vertically. This makes it possible to divide the load area flexibly or support cargo where needed, which is especially useful when transporting changing loads.
How should a load lock bar be used correctly?
It is important that the end feet rest on a stable and load-bearing surface. The bar must not be tensioned directly against thin body sheet metal or between roof cross members. Only a solid support surface ensures reliable holding force during transport.
What is the difference between a load lock bar and lashing straps?
A load lock bar secures cargo through pressure between two fixed points, while lashing straps secure the goods directly. This makes the cargo bar especially practical for cartons, boxes or loose goods that need to be secured quickly without being strapped down directly.
