Hand and arm injuries caused by crushing and compression when
tightening lashing straps.
– Wear protective gloves and equipment.
– When loading and unloading, pay heed to low-hanging overhead
cables.
Proceed as follows:
– For correct dimensioning of load securing, you must calculate the
forces and then plan the use of the required lashing straps.
– two lashing straps must be used for lashing down and two pairs of
lashing straps used for direct lashing of free-standing loads
– In case of sharp edges and rough surfaces, protect the lashing from
damage with protective sleeves and edge guards.
– In case of inclined/ diagonal lashing, the lashing line must only be
tensioned enough that the lashing device no longer sags.
– Only lashing systems labeled for lashing down with STF (standard
tension force) may be used for friction lash ing. With this system the
maximum hand traction SHF (Standard Hand Force) indicated on the
label may be applied only by hand. This is usually 25 daN with a belt
width of 25 mm and 50 daN for all other belt widths.
– No mechanical aids such as rods or levers etc. may be used unless
they are part of the clamping element.
– Roll up unnecessary strap, tie tightly and store in a dry place.
– Re-tighten lashing straps at regular intervals (especially shortly
after starting the journey)!)
– Before opening ensure that the load is still safe, even without secu-
ring device, and does not pose a falling risk to unloading personnel.
If nec. secure the load with slings before opening.
– The SpanSet ratchet lashing straps with the ABS system allow
release of the initial tension in small stages when the belt tension
is relieved by the anti-belt slip procedure.
4.4.3 Determining friction
Friction is particularly important when securing loads.
– Friction acts between the load and the cargo bed and depends on
the material and surfaces.
