Inspection work
Semi-trailers with a load securing certification (structural rigidity certification) must be inspected annually in
compliance with the detailed listed below.
The components

Bulkhead,
Side wall,
Rear wall frame,
Roof and
Floor
of the box body must be connected to each other by means of connecting profiles.
Fixing positions on the bulkhead
► Check the fixings in the connecting profile from the bulkhead to the side wall.
5 / 13
Adhesive connections on the roof and sides
► Check the connecting profile adhesive connections are in a perfect technical condition (visual inspection).
Fixing positions on the rear wall frame
Lock fastenings and hinges
► Check to ensure that all fixings and rivets are in place and are a tight fit.
► Retighten the fixings and rivets whenever necessary.
6 / 13
Door hinges
Door hinge FP45 and FP60
► Check all door hinges.
There are three levels of wear on the door locks:
1. Wear on the end surfaces of the brass bushings from grinding on the hinge bearing,
2. Deflection of the bearings (inside) with wear on the hinge bolts and
3. Bearings are totally worn with damage to the hinge plate or the bearing plate is seriously ground down.
Repair options
Case 1 and 2: The bushings and hinge bolts can be renewed if the bushings still stay firmly secured.
Case 3: The repair can only be made by replacing all the hinge plates and bolts.
Door locks
Door lock
The door locks are manufactured and tested according to the strictest quality standards. As with all mechanical
equipment, the locks may be subject to loads that undermine their proper functioning.
7 / 13
Transport vehicle loads are particularly difficult to assess as they depend on many different influences:
On the type and spatial distribution of the load, the driving conditions and especially on the condition of the road surface.
Information on the maintenance of the locks
1. Dust and dirt residues and ice should be removed regularly as they may prevent the locking latch engaging fully.
Door lock opened
1 Springs
2. Make sure that the springs under the locking latch are not damaged.
Connecting profiles on the roof, bulkhead and scuff rails
► Check the adhesive connections on the roof, bulkhead and scuff rails and, if necessary, on the load securing rails,
load securing elements recessed in the side wall etc.
8 / 13
Load securing rails
Glued load securing rails in the side wall of the body
► Check that the adhesive connections on the load securing rails are in a perfect technical condition (visual inspection).
Clamping beams
1 Sliding piece
2 Rigid side
► Check the operation of the clamping beams.
9 / 13
Round clamping beams
1 Sliding piece
2 Rigid side
► Check the operation of the round clamping beams.
Multifunction floor
1 Load securing structure
► Check the load securing structure (1) of the multifunction floor for wear.
Wear!
Floor wear impairs the load securing force. The clamping bar no longer engages properly into the load securing
structure and may slip.
10 / 13
Clamping beams on the multifunction floor
1 Multifunction floor (load securing structure)
2 Multifunction clamping beam
3 Profile rail
► Check the operation of the clamping beams (2).
► Check the profile rails (3).
Lashing rings
► Check the lashing ring bolts and tighten the fixings if necessary.
11 / 13
Double-decker, partition wall
► Check the adhesive connections on the double-deck rails (visual inspection).
► Check the operation of the partition wall.
Flexible load securing rail
1 Flexible load securing rail
2 Double-deck rail
► Check the operation of the flexible load securing rail (1).
► Check the double-deck rails (2).
12 / 13
Meat hanging tubular rails
Check the fixings on the tubular rails
► Check all fixings between the tubular rails and the roof are a tight fit and tighten the fixings if necessary.
