Positive securing of the load has already been dealt with in sequence 8. Now we would like to take a closer look at frictional locking. What is meant by frictional locking, how does it work and what is important when securing a load? A frictional connection is a connection between two parts over a surface, where both surfaces have a high coefficient of friction. How...
Acceleration is a physical phenomenon that surrounds us all the time. We often don't notice it and if we do, it hurts, e.g. when you tap your thumb with a hammer. With this LaSi blog I would like to bridge the gap from everyday situations to special requirements when transporting with sea containers or the truck. About the author: In a series...
Securing cargo in containers is not really a problem, but inspection practice and the damage rate show that many loaders/stowers have difficulties with "knowing how! In this episode, I will explain the principles of tight-fit stowage/packing and how they can be implemented. The difference between frictional and positive locking has already been explained in many places, which is why...
A considerable part of all global general cargo transports is handled by container. Millions of these metal boxes are on the move by sea, rail and road. Everywhere they are subject to special transport stresses and when loading, sometimes shippers have no inhibitions about handling them with little care for the material. Although there are globally applicable rules for testing and repairs for the container...
Load securing is an inexhaustible subject and anyone with an alert eye on the road has certainly realized that more loads are being secured than in the past. Even the agricultural sector is using more and more securing devices. Whether they are effective, however, is questionable. Perhaps this can be described by the following anecdote. Two mothers are talking about their musical...
This loading area is definitely not clean. It has probably not been swept for a very long time. If you are on the Rothschenk website, it can probably be assumed that you have already heard more or less about load securing. Should you do any more research on the Internet, you will stumble across forums, information pages from consultants and...
Quite simply - always the other 😊 The existing sense of justice leaves many involved in the transport already in the basic features, if "the" responsible person is asked. Thereby always at least 2 or more vicarious agents meet. When transporting goods according to German law (e.g. freight law according to §§ 407ff. HGB, forwarding law according to §§ 453 ff. HGB, ADSp) or according to international...
The container is often considered as a transport box with which you can do anything. However, cargoes are stowed in the container for which it is not built at all. Therefore, it seems necessary to describe the characteristics of the container in addition to the technical standards and regulations. Dimensions of a container Since the container in its present form was invented in America, based...
CSC The "Convention for Safe Containers" was adopted by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) in 1972 and incorporated into German law in 1976 with its publication in the Federal Law Gazette. It is a set of rules intended to ensure that all container manufacturers and owners worldwide manufacture, test and repair the means of transport according to uniform criteria. In the process, the set of rules is supplemented by some...
Since the container is one of the most common means of transport, you can also see many on the road, mostly from the rear. On the rear doors there is a lot of information, which is very important for the one who has to load containers. Therefore, in this episode I would like to explain the marking and its meaning. Rear doors In the upper third are located on the...
