NOTE! Indirect lashings (top-over lashings) alone are not accepted <strong>for</strong> preventing transverse
sliding. If this is the case also in cargo transport units intended <strong>for</strong> combined transports is
unclear.
3.4.3 Acceptable methods preventing tipping
Tipping may be prevented by any <strong>of</strong> the following methods:
1. According to chapter 5.4.1 goods liable to tipping must be secured by sides or walls to
at least the height <strong>of</strong> their centre <strong>of</strong> gravity.
2. According to chapter 5.7 goods must be prevented from tipping in longitudinal
direction if a/h or b/k is less than 0.7, see figure below.
This means that the goods must be prevented from tipping if the height <strong>of</strong> the goods is
larger than: 1.4 × the length <strong>of</strong> the goods.
3. According to chapter 5.7 goods must be prevented from tipping in transverse direction
if a/h or b/k is less than 0.5. This means that the goods must be prevented from
tipping if the height <strong>of</strong> the goods is larger than: 2 × the width <strong>of</strong> the goods.
4. According to chapter 5.7 tipping can be prevented by:
- compact loading without gaps and by binding the outer units together by roundturn
lashings with strength according to chapter 1.5.
- direct lashings (cross or straight lashings)
- supports on the sides or underneath
