PLAY IT SAFE WITH ANTI-SLIP MATS!

THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR ANY CARGO

A significant percentage of traffic accidents in freight transport are caused by inadequate securing of cargo. According to section 22 of the StVO (Germany’s Road Traffic Act), all cargo must be properly secured to ensure that it is held in place on the vehicle even in extreme situations such as emergency braking, abrupt evasive manoeuvres, accidents or poor road surfaces.
Cargo must therefore be secured with the sufficient securing force to keep the cargo on the loading surface in such situations. 
According to the current road traffic requirements, each piece of cargo must be secured with 80% of its weight toward the front and 50% to the side and to the back. The aim of securing cargo is to prevent it from coming loose as the result of centrifugal and inertia forces, especially when the vehicle is braking or cornering.
One important element of securing cargo is friction, which keeps the cargo firmly on the surface up to a certain point and helps to stop the cargo from slipping.
This is where the anti-slip mats come in: with their high sliding friction coefficients, the anti-slip mats "Basic", "Spezial", "Spezial plus" and "Protect"  reduce slippage on smooth surfaces. The risk of the cargo slipping is reduced, the pre-tensioning force required for tie-down lashing is significantly lowered and as a result fewer lashing devices are needed. This saves time and money.
Like lashing straps, anti-slip mats  "Basic", "Spezial", "Spezial plus" and "Protect" are an outstanding cargo securing tool and they can be used under any type of cargo.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR SECURING YOUR CARGO

THE LAW IS CLEAR

Under public law (section 22 of the German Road Traffic Act, StVO), the driver and the shipping agent are responsible for securing the cargo.

  • The shipping agent, forwarding agent and driver are obliged to secure the cargo in accordance with section 22 StVO.
  • The vehicle owner is obliged to equip the vehicle in accordance with section 31 StVZO (the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations)

Under retail law (section 412 of the German Commercial Code, HGB), it is the sender and the carrier who are responsible.

  • Under section 412 HGB, the sender is responsible for loading the cargo in a way that ensures it can be transported safely.
  • Under section 412 HGB, the carrier is responsible for loading the cargo in a way that is consistent with safe operation of the vehicle.

Since 1991, VDI Guideline 2700 has governed when cargo is deemed properly secured and when due diligence obligations are breached.

SECURING PRINCIPLES

COUNTERACTING ACCELERATION FORCES — THESE VALUES NEED TO BE MET:

1.0 G = weight force of the cargo

For transport by lorry, the applicable regulations specify that the cargo must be secured with 50% of the cargo weight to the back and to the side, and with 80% of the cargo weight to the front. For rail and ship transport, the values are correspondingly higher.

Using high-quality anti-slip mats makes it much easier to fulfil these requirements.
