12. Lashing straps must not be overloaded: The maximum hand force of 250 N
(25 daN on the label; 1 daN 1 kg) may be applied with only one hand.
Mechanical aids such as bars or levers etc. may not be used unless they are part
of the tensioning device.
13. Lashing straps may not be used when knotted.
14. Damage to labels must be prevented by keeping them away from sharp edges
of the load and, if possible, from the load.
15. Webbing must be protected against friction, abrasion and damage from loads
with sharp edges by using protective sleeves and / or corner protectors.
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.
