When a truck is immobilised (breakdown, accident, technical fault) and needs to be towed or transported on a flatbed, correctly securing the vehicle as cargo is crucial. In practice, for this type of securing, we rely on the procedures according to VDI 2700 8.2, which addresses the securing of trucks during transport.
VDI 2700 8.2: Securing a Truck During Towing and Transport (Why It's Important)
The VDI 2700 directive generally focuses on load securing on road vehicles. For the practice of towing and transporting heavy vehicles, VDI 2700 8.2 is essential as it concentrates on securing the truck to minimise movement and the risk of equipment damage and traffic hazards during braking, acceleration, or cornering.
DOZURR 5000 – 2-Part Lashing Strap with Ratchet (EN 12195-2)
The DOZURR 5000 is a 2-part lashing strap used for securing a vehicle during transport/towing. The two-part design facilitates handling during anchoring and allows for precise tightening using the ratchet.
The lashing strap complies with the requirements of EN 12195-2.
How to Secure a Truck According to VDI 2700 8.2 (Practical Principles)
- Anchor to designated points: Only use anchor points specified by the vehicle and recovery equipment manufacturer. (The approach of VDI 2700 8.2 is based on correct anchoring and predictable force transmission.)
- Controlled tightening with the ratchet: Tighten the strap smoothly and carefully to ensure the tension is even and stable. Correct tension is key to securing the truck.
- Symmetry and stability: Plan the securing so that forces are distributed evenly and the vehicle remains aligned. This is precisely the type of logic covered in practice by VDI 2700 8.2.
- Ongoing checks: After loading and at the start of transport, check that everything is correctly seated and tightened, and subsequently perform checks according to the carrier's internal procedures.
VDI 2700 8.1 and VDI 2700 8.2: What We State in the Description

Important Safety Notice (VDI 2700 8.2 in Practice)
