You want to secure your load by lashing it down. What should you bear in mind?

You are correct in selecting that you should regularly check the tension of the lashing equipment and only secure dimensionally stable loads by lashing them down. According to German traffic regulations, lashing is effective only if the load is stable and will not change shape or shift during transport. Regularly checking the tension is important because lashing straps can loosen over time due to vibrations or movement, reducing their effectiveness. The third option, choosing the smallest possible lashing angle, is not advisable; in fact, a larger lashing angle provides better securing force. Therefore, the focus is on ensuring the load is stable and the lashings are properly maintained.
