e-Transport - Vehicle types & legal aspects (road transport)

The Types of Road Transport Vehicles module provides a thorough overview of vehicle types, configurations and their specific uses in professional freight transport. Participants learn to distinguish between rigid trucks, towed equipment and complex combinations such as longer and heavier vehicles (LZVs/Ecocombis). The Legal Aspects of Road Transport module focuses on the regulatory framework essential to safe, compliant transport operations. It covers statutory maximum dimensions and masses (MTM), axle-load and load-distribution standards, preparing correct load plans using the LIFO principle, and preventing overloading and the associated penalties.

🎯 Learning objectives

After completing this combined self-study package, participants will be able to:

Recognise & select vehicle configurations: Identify the different vehicle types, including rigid trucks, tractor units, semi-trailers, trailers and LZVs, and select the right combination for specific transport needs.
Apply statutory dimension & weight standards: Interpret and apply national and European rules on maximum vehicle dimensions, projecting loads, marking plates and maximum authorised mass, including the 44 t, 48 t and 50 t arrangements.
Calculate payload: Independently determine the maximum permitted payload for different vehicle combinations using the weakest-link principle.
Prepare a realistic load plan: Determine load utilisation, calculate volumes, including for tankers, and create efficient LIFO-based load plans without compromising safety.
Manage axle loads & centre of gravity: Monitor statutory and technical axle-load limits, determine a load's centre of gravity using loading charts, and assess dynamic weight shifts during driving.
Avoid risks & penalties: Recognise common loading errors and axle-load exceedances to prevent fines, vehicle immobilisation and road hazards.

e-Magazijn - "Materials Handling" in de praktijk

Dit praktijkgerichte e-learningpakket biedt een complete duik in de fysieke en technische inrichting van het magazijn. Via diepgaand lesmateriaal en gerichte instructievideo’s leert de cursist hoe opslagtechnieken, intern transport en verpakkingskeuzes naadloos op elkaar aansluiten om logistieke processen te optimaliseren. Van de juiste selectie van statische en dynamische opslagsystemen (zoals FIFO-, FEFO- en LIFO-toepassingen) tot de technische opbouw en dimensionering van palletstellingen; alle cruciale onderwerpen komen aan bod. Daarnaast behandelen de modules de waaier aan interne transportmiddelen (van manuele transpallet tot heftrucks en geautomatiseerde systemen), alsmede het strategisch inzetten van primaire, secundaire en tertiaire verpakkingen en ladingdragers ter bescherming en ladingzekering van goederen.

e-Magazijn - Layout & Inrichting

Deze e-learningmodules vormen samen een gestroomlijnd en praktisch leertraject rond datagestuurde magazijninrichting en -optimalisatie. In Data-analyse als fundament van magazijninrichting en de verdiepende instructievideo over ABC-analyse Pareto leert de cursist grote datasets te analyseren om artikelen te categoriseren (A, B, C) en de verplaatsings- en loopafstanden in het magazijn te minimaliseren. Magazijn Layout & ontwerpmethodieken reikt vervolgens de beproefde methodieken SHA (Systematic Handling Analysis) en SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) aan om goederenstromen visueel in kaart te brengen, transportarbeid te berekenen en efficiënte lay-outontwerpen te maken. Tot slot brengt de instructievideo over het inrichten en dimensioneren van de opslagruimte al deze theoretische principes samen in een concrete praktijkcase. Dankzij dit e-learningpakket verwerft de cursist direct toepasbare vaardigheden om logistieke ruimtes zelfstandig te analyseren, te herstructureren en te optimaliseren voor een maximale operationele efficiëntie.
