Load & load securing (basics)
A load must not endanger anyone, must not fall off and must not overload the vehicle; the steering axle and centre-axle trailers need correct load distribution, and load projection is tightly limited. Loads are secured by form-fit (blocking), top-over lashing or direct lashing, supported by anti-slip mats and intact lashing equipment.
