Q
Use
Lashing down:
With lashing straps stretched over it, the load is pressed down onto the loading area
(see Fig. C I).
Diagonal lashing:
The load is secured by 4 lashing straps and directly connected to the vehicle (see Fig. C II).
Q
attaching the lashing strap
The selected lashing equipment must be strong and long enough for the intended purpose
and have the correct length for the type of lashing. Responsible users plan cargo security in
advance: they plan the attachment and removal of the lashing devices before the start of
the journey. With longer trips, partial unloading must be considered. Calculate the number
of lashing devices according to EN 12195-1. Only lashing systems labelled for lashing down
with STF (standard tension force) may be used for friction lashing.
j Use the S hook to securely attach the lashing strap to the load.
j Open the ratchet handle 1 and place the slotted shaft 3 into the position so that the
webbing 4 can be inserted into it (see Fig. A III).
j Insert the webbing 4 into the slotted shaft 3 of the ratchet. Carefully pull it through
the slotted shaft 3 until the webbing 4 lies snug against the load.
j Tighten the lashing strap by moving the handle of the ratchet backwards and forwards (see
Fig. A I - III). Tighten the lashing strap until you have obtained the tension you wish to have.
note: Make sure that webbing
4 is wound at least 1.5 times to a maximum of 3 times
around the slotted shaft 3 .
j Bring the ratchet handle 1 into the basic position (see Fig. A I). The load is now secure.
Q
releasing the lashing strap
m CaUTIon! Check before releasing the strap that the load is stable. Make sure that
the load is stable even without the lashing strap and that it cannot fall down.
m CaUTIon! rISk of InJUrY! Make sure that nobody is near the load when you
release the lashing strap. Falling parts could cause injuries.
m CaUTIon! rISk of InJUrY! When opening the lashing equipment, the preload
force is released at a stroke. That is why you should open the lashing strap with the utmost caution.
