Load Securing Tests

Inadequately secured cargo can be a threat to traffic safety. At TÜV Rheinland, we perform load securing tests for all types of vehicles. We examine load distribution, lashing and other equipment, and assess load shifting risks. Where necessary, we can also recommend corrective actions.

With TÜV Rheinland's load securing tests, you can:

• Play an active part in preventing accidents
• Ensure that load-securing methods for your vehicles comply with current standards and regulations
• Help us promote proper cargo securing practices among shippers, drivers, and owners
