These temperature ranges may alter depending on the chemical environment. In this
event, you must seek the advice of the manufacturer or supplier. A change in the
environmental temperature during transport may affect the forces in the webbing.
Check the lashing force after entering warm regions.
9. Lashing straps must be taken out of use or returned to the manufacturer for repair if
they show any signs of damage. The following points are considered to be signs of
damage:
- for webbing (that must be taken out of use): tears, cuts, nicks and breaks in load-
bearing fibres and stitches; deformations resulting from exposure to heat.
- with end fittings and tensioning devices: deformations, cracks, pronounced signs of
wear, signs of corrosion. Only lashing straps bearing identification labels shall be
repaired. If there is any accidental contact with chemical products, the lashing strap
must be removed from service and the manufacturer or supplier consulted.
10. Care should be taken that the lashing strap is not damaged by the sharp edges of
the load on which it is used. Regular visual inspection before and after each use is
recommended.
11. Only legibly marked and labelled lashing straps may be used.
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. (HG01477A-1)
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.
Use
Q
Lashing down (HG01477A-1, HG01477A-2):
With lashing straps stretched over it, the load is pressed down onto the loading area
(see Fig. I).
Diagonal lashing (HG01477A-1):
The load is secured by 4 lashing straps and directly connected to the vehicle (see Fig. II).
Attaching the lashing strap
Q
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
