Code-XL? Can I rely on it?
This is posting number 6 in a series of cargo securing advice and useful hints. These are meant for people who think economically. They do not like to waste time, muscle power, risk their health or pay fines.
How much support can you expect from trailer walls?
There are 2 levels in the standard EN12642, code L and code XL. The information must be found outside the front headboard in a sticker or sign, otherwise you can’t prove your trailer is built accordingly. In the sticker there might also be information about how much support can be found for cargo of different heights. Like in the example here, no support available for a low cargo backwards or sideways.
These standards allow you to calculate these forces as support for cargo securing.
Drive safely,
