Secure the goods positi vely or non-positi vely.
1. positi vely: goods arranged in such a way as to fi ll whole
cargo bed so it cannot slide.
2. non-positi vely: by lashing down using lashing straps,
etc.
►
Where possible, combine positi ve and non-positi ve load
securing.
7.2 Load securing for transport
Load securing is an important safety point when
transporti ng goods.
Adhere to nati onal and if applicable internati onal regu-

Regulati ons), VDI 2700 ff ., BGV D29 (German Employers'
Liability Associati on) and DIN 12642 or other permitt ed
fastening aids may be used which are strong enough for
the respecti ve load.

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.

Tying the load across the drop sides or by wrapping
around the chassis is prohibited!
For non-positi ve securing of the goods, you need to use
the ti e-down brackets in the drop side profi le!
WARNING
Exceeding the maximum ti e-down forces!
Failure to comply with the minimum ti e-down angle!
The ti e-down points can break and the goods would no longer be
held securely. If the ti e-down angle is < 30 °, then the load is not
tensioned enough.
►
Observe the max. ti e-down forces per ti e-down point.
- Observe the maximum specifi cati ons on the label on the
trailer.
►
Tie down the load to the ti e-down points with a
tensioning angle of more than 30°.
Using unsuitable / faulty ti e-down materials!
Faulty / unsuitable ti e-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).
