What can help with friction-locked load securing?

The combination of lashing straps, anti-slip mats, and lashing chains is important for friction-locked load securing because each component plays a specific role in preventing cargo from moving during transport.

Lashing straps are used to apply tension on the load, keeping it firmly in place. Anti-slip mats increase friction between the load and the transport surface, reducing the chances of slippage. Lashing chains add additional stability, particularly for heavier loads, and help to secure items that may shift under movement.

According to German traffic regulations, especially the Road Traffic Act (StVG) and the associated guidelines for load securing, it is crucial to use appropriate securing methods to ensure road safety. A combination of these three methods ensures that loads remain secure, minimizing the risk of accidents caused by shifting cargo. Therefore, employing all three methods is not only advisable but often necessary to comply with safety standards on public roads.
