Product information "DVD - Load securing of octatainers ®"
The test series
Taking into account the latest versions of DIN EN 12640, 12641 (Part 1+2) and 12642, the load on the front, side and rear walls at maximum achievable deceleration, acceleration and centrifugal force was put through its paces. A semi-trailer loaded with Oktatainers® was used. The load was arranged lengthways. Starting at the front wall of the loading area, two Oktatainers® were positioned next to each other without any gaps. The special containers were filled with 1000-1100 kg of foamable polymer beads, which tend to surge strongly during transport.

During the tests at the Fraunhofer Institute, the testers increased the braking decelerations in four phases from a=0.5g to a=1.0g. Each subsequent check of the load (Oktatainer®) for deformation or damage showed that the developed securing system held the Oktatainer® securely on the pallet. In addition, lid deformation was also prevented.
Overall judgement of the Fraunhofer IML:
‘The entire securing system proved to be extremely effective in preventing the Oktatainer® from tipping over and/or slipping on the loading area.’
The securing system is also suitable for all soft packaging that has a surge effect, such as big bags.
The system can also be used for palletised bagged goods in shrink-wrap, drinks crates and other goods that cannot be lashed down. Various lengths and sizes of the belt system can be customised to suit the load.
Running time approx. 17 min.
