►
Secure the goods positively or non-positively.
1. positively: goods arranged in such a way as to fill whole
cargo bed so it cannot slide.
2. non-positively: by lashing down using lashing straps,
etc.
►
Where possible, combine positive and non-positive load
securing.
7.2 Load securing for transport
Load securing is an important safety point when
transporting goods.
Adhere to national and if applicable international regu-
lations.
The goods must be safely and securely lashed to the
vehicle in accordance with regulations according to StVO
(German Road Traffic Act) / StVZO (Road Traffic Licensing
Regulations), VDI 2700 ff., BGV D29 (German Employers'
Liability Association) and DIN 12642 or other permitted
fastening aids may be used which are strong enough for
the respective load.
•
The driver, vehicle owner, shipper and sender are equally
responsible for the safety of the goods.
•
There are three obligations that only affect the driver:
1. Duty to check load securing and load distribution
before setting off.
2. Duty to check and rectify load securing during
transport.
3. Duty to adjust driving style according to the load
(adapted driving style).
WARNING
Unsecured / poorly secured load!
The load can shift while driving - while turning sharp corners, on
uneven road surfaces or when driving on steep roads (mountains)
- which can unbalance the trailer or cause the goods to be thrown
directly out of the trailer.
►
Secure the load properly.
►
Make sure that the goods are secured positively and
non-positively before driving off.
►
While driving (during breaks from driving) check that the
goods are still secure - if necessary re-tighten it.
►
Pay attention to national regulations on load securing.
►
If applicable, pay attention to special transport and secur
ing regulations for specific goods.
►
If applicable, fit more lashing points.
7.2.1 Tie-down options
Tying the load across the drop sides or by wrapping
around the chassis is prohibited!
For non-positive securing of the goods, you need to use
the tie-down brackets in the drop side profile!
WARNING
Exceeding the maximum tie-down forces!
Failure to comply with the minimum tie-down angle!
The tie-down points can break and the goods would no longer be
held securely. If the tie-down angle is < 30 °, then the load is not
tensioned enough.
►
Observe the max. tie-down forces per tie-down point.
- Observe the maximum specifications on the label on the
trailer.
►
Tie down the load to the tie-down points with a
tensioning angle of more than 30°.
Using unsuitable / faulty tie-down materials!
Faulty / unsuitable tie-down materials, e.g. lashing straps,
chains, wire cables, cannot hold the goods securely.
►
Only use tested lashing straps (TÜV, GS).
►
Only use lashing straps with suitable strength (pre-tension
force Lc value).
►
Before tying down, please make sure that the tie-down
materials are not damaged, there are no tears, kinks,
worn patches.
