Load securing with FÖRCH

§ 22 of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) requires that loads must be The load securing in this case is differentiated into form-fit and force-fit

cause avoidable noise, even when braking hard or taking evasive
action.

Force-fit load securing
Force-fit load securing is achieved by lashing down. The load is
pressed on to the loading surface, for example, by means of lashing
straps, which increases the frictional force is and ultimately prevents
the load from slipping. This effect is enhanced by using underlays to
increase the coefficient of friction ("anti-slip mats"), which are placed
under the load. The coefficient of sliding friction is of vital importance
here.
Form-fit load securing
Form-fit load securing is accomplished by placing the load unit directly
against, e.g., the front wall, side walls, loading bars, blocking bars,
clamping bars, or other freight, by filling intermediate spaces with 0.5
intermediate structures or other load securing aids, as well as by 0.5
slant/diagonal/horizontal lashing. Load securing solely by form-fit
without additional lashing down is only permissible if the vehicle body
exhibits stability sufficient for the absorption of the forces that arise.
According to VDI 2700, 80 % of the load weight must be secured
towards the front.

Form-fit (for evenly distributed loads) according to
DIN EN 12195-1:2004 / VDI 2700 ff:
■ Calculated
■ μD = dynamic coefficient of sliding friction 0.5
■ Vertical movements of the load units may require additional
securing measures
0.8
■ When loading, observe the maximum load capacity and
the permissible load distribution
■ The load units are designed for the potential pressure in the contact
area at the form-fit.
