Recognized rules include the VDI (Association of German
Engineers) 2700 Sheet 16 "load securing on vehicles".
The responsibility for load safety lies with the driver (§§
22,23 StVO), the shipper/loader (§ 22 StVO) and the
vehicle owner (§§ 30, 31 StVZO).

4.2 Basic principles
Why should the load be restrained? In driving mode, the
following forces, for example, can arise in vehicles over 3.5
tonnes:
80% of the loaded weight (0,8 FG)- during braking / in the
■
direction of travel
50% of the loaded weight (0,5 FG)- during acceleration /
■
opposite to the direction of travel
50% of the loaded weight (0,5 FG)- when turning / laterally
■
(for vans below 3,5 t, lateral forces can reach 0,6 FG)
- Calculating the lashing capacity
- Lashing straps from synthetic fibres
- load restraint in cars, station wagons,
and multi-purpose vehicles
- load restraint in vans (delivery trucks)
