For this reason, slip restraining devices should belong to the standard equipment of every professional transport. Slip restraining mats will decrease the danger which emanates from plain loading platforms. They will reduce the required total pre-tensioning forces during over top lashing of loads and will contribute – together with the textile lashings – that the loads will form a single unit with the vehicle or wagon.
The slip restraining effect will benefit especially those products, which do not stand a high surface pressure. The dangers resulting from incorrect load lashing practices are often underestimated. Acceleration forces in standard driving situations are close to the dead weight of the load.

INFO
The friction force FW of a slip restraint mat prevents the displacement of the load and is physically explained as follows:
• FW = m x G
• G = Weight forcem = Friction value
• The difference between the inertia force F and the friction force FW is called the clamping force FS
• FS = F - FW
• The securing force FS is the force that the safety devices must absorb
