[en] The introduction of Cargo-Restraint-Transporters (CRTs) into the DOE transportation system has proven to be very successful and cost effective. The future looks good for the CRT; and, hopefully, the next generation of CRTs will be even more adaptable for solving unique shipping and handling problems associated with shipping a wide variety of containers on the Safe-Secure Trailers (SSTs). The following are just a few of the benefits that the CRTs have generated: standardization of loading and tie-down techniques; cost savings in more efficient use of loading personnel; cost savings in the transportation group by reducing the time the SSTs are idle at the loading docks; and improved quality assurance of containers and contents
