Cargo Securing in accordance with VDI 2700 a, DIN EN 12195 and CTU Code

Cargo securing is the technical term for securing goods in road, rail and sea transport. Cargo securing takes into account the forces that occur during transport, such as inertia and centrifugal force, and reliably secures the cargo for transport. Incorrectly secured cargo or a lack of cargo securing often leads to cargo shifting and considerable damage. To prevent this from happening, the participants of this seminar are made aware of the subject and trained in its theoretical and practical application.
