Example calculation of the forces that occur when a
vehicle is in motion (inertia).
Ensuring the load in a van is secure: mass = 1000kg,
coefficient of friction μ D = 0.3 (pallet on a metal surface),
or μ D = 0.6 (with bott load safety matting)
Load under braking
minus friction (μ D =0,3)
required restraint
Load under braking
(with bott safety matting)
minus friction μ D =0.6)
required restraint
Load when cornering
minus friction (μD=0.3)
required restraint
Load when cornering
(with bott safety matting)
minus friction (μ D =0.6)
required restraint
This requirement is satisfied by the load securing mat alone.
Load when accelerating
minus friction (μ D =0,3)
required restraint
Load when accelerating
(with bott safety matting)
minus friction (μ D =0.6)
