How should cargo be placed to reduce the risk of rollover?

Placing cargo as close to the ground as possible is crucial for enhancing vehicle stability and reducing the risk of rollover. When cargo is positioned lower in the trailer, it lowers the center of gravity of the entire vehicle. A lower center of gravity means that the vehicle is less likely to tip over during maneuvers, particularly in situations involving sharp turns, sudden stops, or when encountering uneven road surfaces.

In contrast, cargo placed on top of the trailer or high within the trailer can significantly raise the center of gravity, increasing the likelihood of the vehicle rolling over, especially during lateral movements. While distributing cargo near the sides or in the middle of the trailer can influence its overall balance, these strategies are less effective than having the cargo close to the ground. By keeping cargo low, the vehicle remains more stable, significantly mitigating rollover risks.
