ADR = A<\/strong>ccord europ\u00e9en sur le transport de marchandises D<\/strong>angereuses sur R<\/strong>oute<\/p>\n

This is an international convention for the transport of dangerous goods by road.<\/p>\n

Anti-slip mats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Load securing equipment which is used as an underlay to increase the level of friction. It is made of anti-slip materials e.g. rubber granulate, fibrous materials or coated cardboard.<\/p>\n

Aramid fabric<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aramid is a special fabric for roof tarpaulins. Aramid is yellow and fire-resistant.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Cabotage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cabotage is the provision of transport services within a country by a foreign transport company.<\/p>\n

Carnet ATA<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Carnet ATA is issued by the national Chambers of Commerce and can be described as an international document for temporary use.
It is used for the customs clearance of goods that are intended for temporary import\/export (e.g. trade fairs, building sites abroad, etc.).<\/p>\n

Carnet TIR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Carnet TIR is a transit document with the widest scope. It is valid beyond EU borders in the East, Far East and Middle East. The IRU is the organiser of the Carnet TIR system and assumes liability for customs duties up to max. \u20ac 100,000- \/ Carnet TIR in the EU and other TIR member states. In some TIR member states, a limited guarantee of max. \u20ac 60,000,- \/ Carnet TIR applies.<\/p>\n

CMR<\/strong><\/p>\n

CMR = C<\/strong>onvention relative au contrat de transport internationale de M<\/strong>archandises par R<\/strong>oute<\/p>\n

The CMR is the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road. The provisions of the CMR are mandatory between all contracting states in cross-border road transport.<\/p>\n

Coefficient of friction \u00b5 (Mu)<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a load is on a trailer floor, friction<\/strong> is generated between<\/strong> the load<\/strong> and the trailer floor<\/strong>, which is expressed by the coefficient of friction<\/strong>. This is used to calculate the slip of the load and the required number of tensioning straps.<\/p>\n

Coil carrier<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rolls of sheet metal are also referred to as coils. In order to be able to safely load these coils (rolls that can weigh several tonnes) either suitable packaging (rack) or a trailer with a coil well<\/strong> is required.
The well is a coverable recess in the floor <\/strong>of the trailer, approx. 5 to 8.5m in length. If the coil well is covered, any other goods can be loaded on these vehicles.<\/p>\n

Combined load securing<\/strong><\/p>\n

With combined load securing, elements of form-fit and force-fit load securing are combined<\/strong>. The load is, for example, loaded to the front wall and lashed down with form-fit and force-fit tensioning straps. In practice, this method of load securing is very frequently used<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Combined transport<\/strong><\/p>\n

With combined transport, different modes of transport such as trucks, trains and ships are optimally combined to handle transport as environmentally-friendly<\/strong> and cost-efficiently<\/strong> as possible.<\/p>\n
