Load securing with Sortimo ProSafe
SoboPro
Practical load securing starts with the right cladding of the vehicle interior. The Sortimo floor SoboPro is a key part of the load securing concept. Integrated ProSafe lashing points, in combination with lashing straps, offer flexible options for load securing in the vehicle.
SoboPro Restraint Pole
The Sortimo SoboPro restraint pole was made especially for load securing and broadens the scope of load securing in a way that adds value. The possibility to add Sortimo restraint poles creates new opportunities for load securing and allows for a more form fit way of storing cargo.
Lashing Rails
Sortimo lashing rails can be mounted on the vehicle side wall, the cargo divider (partition) or the van racking. The combination of the SoboPro floor and the ProSafe lashing accessories creates a fully functional load securing system for the safe and efficient transport of goods.
Retraint poles
These universally deployable restraint poles can be used both horizontally and vertically, depending on the location of the lashing rails, to fix the loads in place. The square footprint provides optimum hold. In addition, individual lashing points for lashing straps can be inserted in the integrated rail profile.
Lashing straps
The ProSafe system offers a wide range of tie-down points for flexible arrangement of cargo. Using lashing rails on the side walls, cargo partition, SoboPro floor and the integrated lashing points of the SR5 system, any shape of load can be secured quickly in the vehicle using the ProSafe lashing strap.
Load safety nets
ProSafe load safety nets can be installed at all existing ProSafe lashing points. The load safety nets are available in various sizes and can be easily stowed in one of the Sortimo BOXXes. The nets are ideal for securing awkward and bulky loads.
The SoboPro installation and load securing floors and SoboPro restraint pole can be selected in mySortimo configuration and ordered online.

The most important rules as an overview!
Intact securing equipment and load-securing surface
All securing equipment must be in perfect condition. In order to guarantee maximum safety, the load area must be swept clean and be free from oil at all times.
Adequate ventilation
When transporting gases, the vehicle must have adequate ventilation (floor, roof or side vents).
Roadworthiness
The vehicle and load must be checked for roadworthiness before setting off. You need to check the load securing after sharp braking or other unusual load levels.

The right securing system
The load-securing equipment and the vehicle must be suitable for transporting the load. The lashing facilities must have an adequate load-bearing capability (marking by sticker) and must be suitable for securing the load. The permissible total weight and the permissible axle loading of the vehicle must also be taken into account.
Stable loading
The load must not impair handling and stability. The change in the centre of gravity from the load does, however, lead to modified handling of the vehicle. Heavy loads should always be stowed as low as possible in the vehicle. The load must be secured from slipping and tipping over.
