Formschlüssige Ladungssicherung

Form-fitting load securing Types & advantages at glance

Load securing is an essential aspect of transportation. It involves ensuring that all loads in a vehicle are secured against slipping or falling . One special type of load securing is form-fitting load securing . This type of load securing is particularly effective and can offer advantages in many cases. In this blog post, we would like to explain the importance of form-fitting load securing and answer the question: "What exactly is form-fitting load securing?"

What is positive load securing?

What is meant by positive-lock load securing? Positive-lock load securing means that the vehicle's load is secured by the load's geometry in conjunction with the vehicle and the fastening systems. This type of load securing holds the load in place and prevents it from slipping while driving . This minimizes the risk of damage to the load and the vehicle and increases the safety of the driver and other road users.

Advantages of form-fitting load securing

The major advantage of form-fitting load securing is that this type of load securing is very flexible and can be adapted to many different types of loads. By loading the goods seamlessly and flush, they are protected from falling and slipping. Additionally, the goods can be secured with lashing devices such as lashing straps and appropriate lashing rails , or mechanical load securing devices such as partition wall locks .

There are many different load securing systems available, which can be selected depending on the type and weight of the load. Legal regulations must also be observed. For certain types of load, such as hazardous goods , there are specific load securing requirements.

FAQ zum Thema formschlüssige Ladungssicherung

Wie funktioniert formschlüssige Sicherung der Ladung in der Praxis?

In der Praxis wird die Ladung so positioniert, dass keine Hohlräume zwischen ihr und den Begrenzungsflächen bleiben. Falls doch Lücken entstehen, werden sie mit Ladungssicherungshilfsmitteln wie Paletten, Keilen, Luftkissen oder Füllmaterial ausgefüllt. Ziel ist ein lückenloser Verbund, der bei Bremsen, Kurven oder Beschleunigung stabil bleibt.

Welche Beispiele gibt es für formschlüssige Ladungssicherung?

Typische Beispiele:

  • dicht gepackte Getränkekisten auf einer Palette
  • Möbelstücke, die bündig an der Stirnwand eines Transporters stehen
  • Palettenware, die durch Sperrbalken oder Ladebalken fixiert wird
  • Baustoffe, die mit Keilen und Rungen gegen Verrutschen gesichert sind
Wichtig: Die Sicherung muss in alle Richtungen wirken, nicht nur nach vorne.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen formschlüssiger und kraftschlüssiger Sicherung?

  • Formschlüssig: nutzt Flächenkontakt → kein Verrutschen durch Anlegen.
  • Kraftschlüssig: nutzt Reibung + Gurte → kein Verrutschen durch Vorspannung. Formschluss ist oft einfacher bei sperriger Ladung, während Kraftschluss flexibler bei unterschiedlich geformten Gütern ist. Die beste Sicherung entsteht meist durch eine Kombination beider Methoden.

Welche Vorteile bietet formschlüssige Ladungssicherung?

  • Hohe Stabilität, da die Ladung fest anliegt
  • Schnelle Sicherung, oft ohne zusätzliche Gurte
  • Geringer Materialaufwand, wenn der Laderaum passend genutzt wird
  • Kombinierbar mit anderen Methoden für maximale Sicherheit
  • Rechtssicher, wenn sie nach VDI 2700 umgesetzt wird
Besonders bei standardisierten Gütern (z. B. Palettenware) ist Formschluss die effizienteste Methode.
