The aim of the guideline is to improve the transportation quality and the traffic safety through the introduction of standardised tools for load securing. Conveyed are the physical and legal fundamental principles for transportation of Daimler load carriers in road traffic and the consequential resulting methods of load securing. Base on this the most economical load securing measures for all current load situations are presented, as far as the loader has provided the goods in load carriers according to Daimler standards, the forwarding agent has made available a suitable vehicle with appropriate equipment and the driver has secured and checked the load in a responsible manner. The described load securing measures must be known by the persons being in charge and responsible for the transport operations. The training of these persons in accordance with the present guideline will impart sufficient knowledge about dangers, physical fundamentals and technical solutions of load securing, increasing at the same time the intention to apply these measures extensively in order to prevent accidents and damage. 1. Scope The guideline “Daimler Load Securing 9.5“ is considered as binding set of regulations regarding load securing for all incoming and outgoing transportation on utility vehicles in the plants, ELCs (European Logistic Centres) and branches of the Daimler AG. Based on applicable regulations and practical tests at the DEKRA Crash Centre Neumünster it provides the fundamentals for the roadworthy transport with DC load carriers. The particular vehicle requirements and load securing specifications result from DEKRA certificates which have been established with regard
