˜ Practical use and care information
1 . In selecting and using lashing equipment, you must consider the
required lashing force, the mode of use and the type of cargo to
be lashed . The size, shape and weight of the cargo as well as the
intended mode of use, the transport environment and the type of
cargo determine the correct choice . For stability reasons, at least
2 lashing straps must be used for lashing down and 2 pairs of
lashing straps used for diagonal lashing .
2 . The selected web lashings shall both be strong enough and of the
correct length for the mode of use . Basic lashing rules:
–
Plan the fitting and removal operations of lashing before starting
a journey;
–
Keep in mind that during journeys parts of the load may have to
be unloaded;
–
Calculate the number of web lashings according to
prEN 12195-1:1995;
–
Only those web lashings designed for frictional lashing with STF
on the label are to be used for frictional lashing;
–
Check the tension force periodically, especially shortly after
starting the journey .
3 . Due to different characteristics and because of different changes in
length under load, only identical lashing device combinations (e . g .
lashing chains and lashing strap made of synthetic fibres) may be
used in parallel for lashing the same load .
4 . Consideration shall also be given to ancillary fittings (components)
and lashing devices in the load restraint assembly are compatible
with the web lashing .
5 . During use, flat hooks must engage over the entire width of the
bearing surface of the hook .
