Because there is genius in it and because prowess is behind it. Comprehensive competence and experience, creativity and openness, consistent marketing and customer orientation: these are the foundation that the innovative force is based on which Kögel uses to develop and implement transport solutions. State-of-the-art design and simulation software are used - however innovation starts in the mind and a pencil sketch is still generally the fi rst step in the complicated process from the basic idea to the perfect end product. A special feature at Kögel is the close collaboration with the customer throughout all phases of development to be Highly professional equipment is used for able to always keep the practical requirements in mind and for the development and material testing. to gather the important impulses from the marketplace: Approaches to solutions are discussed with customers, prototypes are tested together and customer feedback is incorporated into further development and optimisation. All components are tested in our own experimental department under extreme conditions which go far beyond the normal requirements. The vehicles are subjected to intensive driving and rough road tests, in rain, snow and ice and under a scorching sun. This is because only products that pass these strenuous tests will be capable of withstanding all stresses and strains of day-to-day use for many more years to come. Kögel places great store on high-quality materials, extraordinary workmanship and quality-oriented sequences throughout the production process. The most important innovation factor at Kögel consists of the competent, creative and committed members of staff.

VDI 2700 VDI 2700 describes which inertial forces affect the load. In order to secure the load, these forces must be set against the Load Securing measures. With stable cargo, through the friction of the load or the loading equipment (e.g. pallets) alone, one part of the inertial force is absorbed in the floor. Nevertheless, as the illustration clearly shows, a large proportion of surplus inertial force is still remaining. These forces must be neutralised with Load Securing equipment (see Figure 1). 2. EN 12642 L – stability requirements for standard bodies In addition to VDI 2700, there are other European standards for the regulation of Load Securing. EN 12642 specifies the minimum requirements for a body which can absorb at least part of the excess inertial forces (see illustration). As such a body cannot accommodate all those forces described in VDI 2700, additional protection for form-locked load- ing is required depending on the weight of the cargo and the friction. Kögel bodies with drop sides are certified according to EN 12642 L also fulfil the minimum requirements which are formulated in the standard. In addition to the forces absorbed in the body, other Load Securing equipment, such as lashing points, tension straps or load securing wedges, must still be used on these vehicles. Only then are all the inertial forces described in VDI 2700 neutralised (see Figure 2). 3. Certified body stability according to EN 12642 XL To ensure that the load is secured without any additional Load Securing measures on the loading platform, body sta- bility levels must be increased. Kögel bodies with sliding tarpaulins fulfil the stability requirements for reinforced bod- ies according to EN 12642 XL in the same way as fixed body vehicles. For vehicles with this certificate, the Load Securing process operates very simply: via the body. If the vehicle is fully loaded and form-locked, or still partially secured to prevent slippage, the body's structure is used for Load Securing purposes. The body absorbs the forces arising from the driving dynamics according to VDI 2700. This means: No additional Load Securing elements are required for form-locked loading (see Figure 3). 4 INERT FORCE OF THE CARGO FRICTION FORCE LOAD SECURING ENERGY INERT FORCE OF THE CARGO Figure 1: Corresponds to the maximum inertial forces arising from the driving dynamics; if the cargo is in a stable position,FRICTION the inertial FORCE force then counteractsLOAD SECURING the frictional ENERGY force between the load and vehicle floor.

  • European Best Practice Guidelines on Cargo Securing for Road Transport
    European Best Practice Guidelines on Cargo Securing for Road Transport EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR ENERGY AND TRANSPORT Preface by Mr Jacques Barrot, Vice-President of the European Commission, Commissioner in charge of transport Road freight transport is the backbone of European transport and logistics. Europe needs not only efficient, but also safe road freight transport. Securing cargo properly is essential to achieve even safer road freight transport. It has been estimated that up to 25% of accidents involving trucks can be attributable to inadequate cargo securing. Rules on cargo securing exist in several Member States, but they often differ in content and scope, making it very difficult for international transporters to know what the minimum cargo securing requirements are for a given cross-border transport operation. Starting end of 2002, industry, Member States and the Commission took a practical step towards more road safety by developing the guidelines on cargo securing, which I have the pleasure to present in the current form. The present document is the result of the experts’ collective work over three years and I thank all experts involved in this exercise for sharing their expertise and dedicating much time to what I think is a useful and practical reference book. It deserves to be read all over the European Union. In this context, I am grateful to the International Road Union (IRU), for their valuable support in translating this book into a maximum of Community languages. May the Guidelines be read and applied all over Europe, to help our common goal of making traffic safer.

Production: IRU Secretariat General, 2014 Geneva/Switzerland Foreword Umberto De Pretto The IRU International Guidelines on Safe Load Securing for Road Transport were developed to effectively respond to the gap in global guidance for professionals involved in transporting loads by road. On behalf of the IRU and all its Members on the 5 continents, I would like to extend a special word of appreciation to the IRU International Commission on Technical Affairs (CIT) and to external load securing experts for making the development of these guidelines possible. Thanks to the CIT’s commitment and expertise, which have been central to this effort, this valuable document provides global guidance to all IRU Members and relevant stakeholders in the road transport industry to ensure that safety is put first. I would encourage all to follow these comprehensive guidelines and make good use of them as a source of reference to ensure safe load securing during road transport operations to benefit society as a whole. Umberto de Pretto Secretary General IRU Martin O’ Halloran The Health & Safety Authority has welcomed the opportunity to assist in the development of these guidelines which will help all participants in the transport chain understand and implement load securing good practice and improve compliance with load securing standards. Unsafe loads cause accidents in the workplace and on the road.

  • The Role of Fastening Loads in the Safety Management of Intermodal Transport of Truck Semi-Trailers
    CzOTO 2019, volume 1, issue 1, pp. 978-986 THE ROLE OF FASTENING LOADS IN THE SAFETY MANAGEMENT OF INTERMODAL TRANSPORT OF TRUCK SEMI-TRAILERS doi: 10.2478/czoto-2019-0124 Date of submission of the article to the Editor: 02/11/2018 Date of acceptance of the article by the Editor: 23/12/2018 Robert Sałek1 – orcid id: 0000-0002-5416-9448 Michał Słabik2 – orcid id: 0000-0003-0281-7981 1Czestochowa University of Technology, Poland, [email protected] 2Ewals Cargo Polska, Poland Abstract: Ensuring transport safety is one of the key areas of transport companies' operations. Management and organization processes not only in the intermodal transport are associated with decision-making in regard to adequate load securing, which is exposed to the inertia forces resulting from the movement of transport means. Regardless, the responsibility of individual entities in the process and the applicable insurance, the basic aspect to ensure transport safety is the correct securing of the cargo. In the article, the authors present elements of calculation models for different methods of securing cargo. Calculations were performed for the selected type of load on the specific semi-trailer meeting the requirements of the XL Code adapted for intermodal transport. The analysis of safety management in transport in the aspect of decision-making about the method of securing the cargo was also made. Keywords: management, transport, intermodal, transport safety 1. INTRODUCTION Road transport is currently the largest, most expensive and dangerous branch of transport. The fact that it is the most dangerous is mainly due to the large morbidity rate, which is caused by, amongst other reasons, a rapid increase of participants of transport by road, as well as the difference between the amount of vehicles, and the state of the infrastructure (Antonowicz and Majewski, 2014).
