First of all

Thank you decided to try Cargo Securing software product, which will facilitate the transport work in the field

of security of cargo.

Software product Cargo Securing is a tool for calculating the number of fastening means. The application

allows the calculation according to VDI 2700 standards used (Germany), EN 12195-1:2003 (previous

European Standard) and EN 12195-1:2010 (the current European standard).

The application allows to calculate the frictional binding, direct and diagonal binding. For direct and diagonal

binding also allows calculation in combination with an auxiliary frictional binding. According to the selected

design vehicles (EN 12642 and EN-12642 L-XL), together with the type of body (eg convertible top,

stanchions, the vehicle without sides) Select the required values for securing the load in the event of load

resting on selected front / side / rear wall. According to the payload vehicle selects the maximum load lashing

points and after entering the length of the loading area displays information about the minimum number of

lashing points.

Cargo Securing Application is created in multiple languages. After installation,

you can simply select the menu select one of the following languages: Czech,

German, French, English, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish and Romanian. Adding

another language is relatively simple. Just add the text file with translations of

sentences, and after running a the program application will find all available

language versions.

Cargo Securing Applications will gradually add more features. In the next version will calculate the tipping

load, calculate the binding loop, and more.

We believe that our product will be satisfied and comments to contribute to further improvements.
