Use robust packaging: Ensure that the packaging can withstand
the load of the machines. Packaging must be stable and free from
damage. -
Secure anchoring of the machines: Secure the machines inside
the packaging with suitable brackets and fixing devices. There must
be no room for movement that could allow the machine to slip or
fall over. -
Padding and protective material: Use padding and filling
materials, if necessary, to absorb shocks and vibrations during
transport.
Load Securing:
-
Use suitable securing equipment: Use certified and tested
lashing equipment such as straps, chains, and tension belts. Ensure
that these are in perfect condition. -
Proper distribution of the load: Ensure that the load is evenly
distributed on the loading surface to prevent the machines from
tilting or shifting. -
Additional securing for bulky machines: Additional measures,
such as bracing or using anti-slip mats, are required for bulky or
particularly heavy machines. -
Regular inspection: Regularly check that the load is secured
during transport, especially after long journeys or in bumpy road
conditions.

EXTRAORDINARY OPERATION CLOSURE
Dear Handtmann partners,
the safety of the machines during transport is of high importance. In order to
avoid accidents and damage, we would like to inform you about proper loading
and load securing.
An unproperly secured machine and load can cause considerable risks for
employees, road safety and the environment. In addition, unsecured machines
can be damaged during transport. We therefore ask you to take responsibility
for checking the following minimum load securing measures depending on the
goods being transported:
Loading
1. Use robust packaging: Ensure that the packaging can withstand the load of
the machines. Packaging must be stable and free from damage.
2. Secure anchoring of the machines: Secure the machines inside the packaging
with suitable brackets and fixing devices. There must be no room for movement
that could allow the machine to slip or fall over.
3. Padding and protective material: Use padding and filling materials, if
necessary, to absorb shocks and vibrations during transport.
