German term

Hecksicherungsverfahren

German to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping load securing in road haulage
Für alle Fahrzeugaufbauten sind entsprechende Hecksicherungsverfahren notwendig.

As in my last question, I cannot find this term on the net except in relation to security measures for the tail gates of road vehicles. It must refer to a method for securing the load in a lorry.

PS Based on the given context, I'm not entirely sure whether this kind of Heckabsicherung isn't included as well:
"Ragt das äußerste Ende der Ladung mehr als 1 m über die Rückstrahler des Fahrzeugs nach hinten hinaus, so ist es kenntlich zu machen durch mindestens eine hellrote, nicht unter 30 x 30 cm große, durch eine Querstange auseinandergehaltene Fahne, ein gleich großes, hellrotes, quer zur Fahrtrichtung pendelnd aufgehängtes Schild oder einen senkrecht angebrachten zylindrischen Körper gleicher Farbe und Höhe mit einem Durchmesser von mindestens 35 cm. Diese Sicherungsmittel dürfen nicht höher als 1,5 m über der Fahrbahn angebracht werden."

(Link lists the different legal requirements for securing loads; maybe it can prove useful at some point.)

@Stephen If you google "Heckabsicherung," this link will show up (second-last set of pictures from first news item):

Quote:
"Unter anderem wurde explizit auf Themen wie die richtige Anwendung von Sicherungsmitteln oder Ladeverfahren zur formschlüssigen Verladung sowie die Sicherungsverfahren 'Kopf- und Hecklashing' praktisch angewandt."

There's your "-verfahren" in there as well. I suppose that's what you were looking for (also refers to "lashing," as asked for in your other query).

Hecksicherungsverfahren Thanks, Phil. That looks very good.

must be secured at the rear

This may need tweaking depending on your context, but Heck means the back of a vehicle.

Tailgate securing procedures

For (all types of) vehicle bodies, the relevant tailgate securing procedures are necessary;
Peer comment(s):

disagree Cilian O'Tuama : it's not the tailgate that's secured but the cargo at the back of the vehicle// So how is the tailgate then opened? They're referring to the Heck, not the Heckklappe.

which is transported attached to the tailgate....// how it's opened depends on whether two door or raised one door, etc;// forget it;
