Abstract
The paper identifies possible ways of fastening military vehicles on rail freight wagons using textile fastening straps and then compares particular methods. The comparison includes, besides used methods—diagonal lashing and V-shape diagonal lashing, the previously used method of lashing—slope lashing, which is currently not allowed to use. To calculate the inertia forces affecting the cargo, respectively the fastening straps, appropriate methods in accordance with EN 12195–1 have been chosen. In the discussion part, recommendations in relation to the fastening of military vehicles on rail freight wagons are introduced.
