Practice question

What is the difference between 'Form-Fitting Cargo Securing' (Formschluss) and 'Force-Locking Top-Over Lashing' (Kraftschluss / Niederzurren)?

  1. Formschluss is for liquids; Kraftschluss is for gases
  2. Formschluss uses only chains; Kraftschluss uses only ropes
  3. Formschluss secures cargo by direct contact against solid vehicle boundaries (headboard, stanchions, side walls, or blocking); Kraftschluss presses cargo down onto the loading floor using tensioned lashing straps to increase frictional grip
  4. There is no practical difference in heavy transport engineering

Answer: C — Formschluss secures cargo by direct contact against solid vehicle boundaries (headboard, stanchions, side walls, or blocking); Kraftschluss presses cargo down onto the loading floor using tensioned lashing straps to increase frictional grip
