securely tied down without specific tying-down attachment points.
This document applies to the following modes of transport:
— lifting with cranes (e.g. mobile cranes, gantry cranes);

— rail transport, including combined transport (e.g. wagons with containers, swap-bodies, semi-
trailers, trucks);
— sea transport.
It is not applicable to
— airlift or transport by air, or
— rail transport of machines on wagons subject to shunting.
