Load securing blog of Sandax GmbH

1 daN (Dekanewton) entspricht rund 1,02 Kilogramm – als Faustregel gilt: 1 daN ≈ 1 kg. Ein Zurrgurt mit der Aufschrift LC 2500 daN kann im geraden Zug also eine Kraft aufnehmen, die dem Gewicht von etwa 2.500 kg entspricht.

Anyone involved in commercial transport knows: A truck is only as safe as its load. Modern vehicles, powerful engines, and good route planning are important.

Edge protectors are among the small accessories used in load securing that are often underestimated in practice.

Whether shipping pallets, bundles of building materials, machine components, or export packaging: Without reliable securing, cargo can shift, tip over, or become damaged during transport.

The supply chain encompasses all the steps required for a product to move from its origin to the customer. This includes not only suppliers, warehouses, and transport.

The coefficient of friction is one of the most important factors in load securing. It often determines whether a load can be reliably secured with just a few suitable securing devices or whether an unnecessarily large number of lashing straps is required.

Logistics is a term that plays a central role in almost every sector of the economy. However, many people still ask: What exactly is logistics?

The logistics industry is evolving rapidly. Increasing demands for delivery speed, transparency, and efficiency are forcing companies to digitalize their processes.

Quality in logistics today determines far more than just on-time deliveries. It influences costs, customer satisfaction, liability risks, sustainability, and the stability of entire supply chains.

In practice, transport insurance and load securing are often considered separately. One side focuses on policies, premiums, and claims processing, while the other deals with lashing straps, anti-slip mats, packaging, and technical regulations.

In modern transport operations, instinct and experience alone are no longer enough to manage processes effectively.

Occupational safety and workplace safety are not marginal issues in warehousing, shipping, and loading, but a key success factor.
