Method for securing a container in a transport vehicle and corresponding load securing system

The method involves putting the container (1) adjacent to the side wall (5) on the loading surface (4), and frapping the container towards the loading surface by traction unit (2) directly or indirectly connected to a mounting rail (3). The end of the traction unit is connected to the mounting rail and the traction unit is guided around the upper portion (16) of the container. The traction unit is brought into contact with a leg (18) of the container and is guided around the leg to form a wrap angle of 60 degree. An independent claim is included for a load protecting system for protecting a container in a transport vehicle.
