4.7 SECURING LOAD
Regardless of the type of load carried, the user is obliged to secure it in such a manner that
the load is unable to move freely on the load platform and pose a threat to other road users
during transport.
Securing the load involves its correct attaching to load platform by means of belts, ropes,
chains or other devices equipped with a tensioning mechanism. Information provided in this
section do not describe all possibilities of load securing. Important instructions are only given
concerning correct load fixing methods and risks are indicated which may occur if proper
procedures are not followed.
Properly secured load must not have a tendency to tilt on the load platform when making
turns and must not slide on the trailer floor planks. For this reason, sufficient securing
measures should be applied to prevent these unfavourable phenomena. It is additionally
recommended that chocks or other objects without sharp edges should be placed under the
load wheels (if the load has wheels) in order to prevent load relocation.
