Beer flood on the B127: Truck loses freight at Walding!

B127 Rohrbacher Straße, Kilometer 16, 4061 Walding, Österreich - Today, on May 30, 2025, there was an incident in the district of Linz-Land in Upper Austria with a truck that lost several boxes of beer due to insufficient load securing. The incident occurred around 5:00 a.m. on the B127, Rohrbacher Straße, kilometer 16, in the municipality of Walding. The confusing curve at the scene of the accident required a quick protection and evacuation of the site, so that the fire brigades Walding and Rottenegg were alerted to take the necessary measures and to defuse the dangerous situation.

The emergency services took over the rescue of the crashed charging and ensured that the road was cleaned. During the cleanup, the B127 was mutually closed in this section, which led to short -term traffic disruptions. Such incidents are not only annoying for road users, but also raise questions about the safety of the charge and compliance with the legal regulations.

load securing and regulations

As is clear through the incident, the load securing plays a decisive role in freight transport. According to the requirements of the 1967 (KFG) Motor Act, the loading of motor vehicles and supporters is only permitted if various safety regulations are observed. This includes compliance with the maximum weights, axle loads and safety regulations for storing the cargo. An effective load distribution plan (LVP) should help to secure the load correctly. This plan shows the assignment of the payloads and the distance from the front wall to the load focus, which is of crucial importance for the stability of the vehicle.

In addition, the road traffic regulations 1960 (StVO) clarify that the cargo must be kept safely in order to avoid dangers. The proper use of load backup agents is therefore essential. This includes lashing straps, separating networks and non -slip materials to prevent the load from slipping or falling when driving. It is recommended to check the vehicles for correct loading and safety before use in order to meet the legal requirements and to ensure safety in road traffic.

effects of false load securing

A wrong load distribution can not only affect driving behavior, but also leads to dangerous situations. Uneven loading can, for example, stagger or conduct the vehicle's restricted steering capacity. These aspects were dealt with in detail in the basics for securing the load, emphasizing that heavy goods should be loaded below and lighter above. The focus of the load should also be as low as possible and on the longitudinal line of the vehicle to ensure stability.

In cases such as the current incident, the legal consequences for the responsible drivers and companies are considerable. In the event of violations of the charge protection regulations, fines up to 5,000 euros or even prison terms can be imposed. In order to prevent such situations, training is necessary in the proper application of the charge security funds, which is supported by compliance with the manufacturer's instructions.

The recent events on the B127 thus illustrate the importance of suitable measures to secure loading and comply with the legal requirements to ensure the safety of all road users.
