A transport unit comprising:

• a rectangular or square load carrier for supporting a load having a coil of a web wound on a reel;

• a load securing member extending inside the reel and between the load carrier and an anchoring device arranged on a top surface of the load such that the load is secured to the load carrier;
• wherein the load securing member comprises a tightening strap;
• wherein the load carrier comprises a pallet with deck boards extending in a longitudinal direction of the load carrier and being supported from below by joist boards including a center joist board, wherein the joist boards are arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction;
• wherein the load is arranged on said load carrier such that the reel is positioned above a longitudinal gap defined by two adjacent deck boards and above said center joist board which is exposed in said longitudinal gap;
• and
• wherein said tightening strap extends in an endless loop over the anchoring device, down and through the reel, through the longitudinal gap defined by the two adjacent deck boards, under said center joist board, up and through the reel, and back to the anchoring device.
