You are transporting a "groupage" cargo load containing transport units of varying sizes and weight. How should you secure this load?

In German traffic rules, securing a groupage cargo load (which consists of transport units of different sizes and weights) requires special attention to prevent movement during transport. Using partitions to sub-divide the loading area helps keep the cargo stable and prevents shifting. Additionally, an interlocking arrangement means placing the units so they fit together tightly, supporting one another and increasing stability. Simply ensuring minimum spacing between units is not sufficient because gaps can allow movement, increasing the risk of damage or accidents. Therefore, the combination of partitions and interlocking units is essential for safe load securing.
