For companies transporting various cargoes, it is important that the cargo arrives at its destination on time, safe and sound.

Therefore, it is necessary, firstly, to place the load in the body so as to ensure optimal weight distribution along the axles and sides of the tractor and trailer, without violating the handling or stability of the car. Secondly, the load should be secured in such a way that it does not move under any loads during movement. The fastening methods depend on the type of cargo being transported.

The consequences of improper cargo placement and attachment can be damage to the cargo or an accident, including with serious consequences.

The course on cargo placement and fastening is conducted in the format of a theoretical seminar followed by exercises for calculating the fastening of various loads and the practice of fastening on a special simulator:

• Legal requirements and technical standards
• Physical forces acting on the load during movement
• Vehicle body structure
• Ways of securing cargo. Power and geometric closure
• Calculation of the number of fastening means
• Load distribution on the vehicle
