Ensuring form-fitting
NOTE
Material damage caused by empty
spaces in the cargo area!
Empty spaces between parts of the cargo
can result in material damage to the load
while driving.
► Eliminate any empty space towards
the cargo space limiters.
► Eliminate any empty space between
individual pieces of cargo.
► Comply with the permissible axle load
when eliminating empty spaces.
► Fill empty spaces for example with
wooden pallets, storage pads or air
cushions.
► Fill stowage gaps in the middle with
packs of wood chip for example.
► Secure the load, e.g. by lashing it
down.
Flush loading and form-fitting makes load
securing easier. Form-fitting load securing
means that the load fills the space between
the load compartment limiters at the front,
side, and rear wall.

casings and shrink-wrap
Fastening hoops and plastic foil shrink-

fasten the load onto or with the pallet.
► Secure the load with hoop casings and
shrink-wrap on pallets against sliding,
e.g. by lashing it down
