LPX Trade blogi — koorma kinnitamine, tõstmine ja ohutus
Tere tulemast LPX Trade blogisse, kus jagame praktilisi nõuandeid koorma kinnitamise, tõstmise ja veo ohutuse kohta professionaalsele transpordile. Meie artiklid selgitavad valdkonna Euroopa standardeid — EN 12195 kinnitamiseks, EN 1492 tõstestroppidele ja ISO 17712 plommidele — ning näitavad, kuidas valida ja õigesti kasutada varustust. Kuna õige kinnitamine hoiab ära õnnetused, trahvid ja koorma kahjustused, käsitleme selliseid teemasid nagu koormarihmade valik, kinnitusarvutused, stroppide värvikoodid ja rikkumist tuvastav plommimine. Lugege allpool uusimaid postitusi — eksperdinõuanded Lätis asuvalt B2B tarnijalt Euroopa turule.
