Technical description lashing products
A lot has happened in load securing, both in terms of lashing equipment and ways to calculate the load lashing need.
What should the load securing be able to withstand
Check in accordance with current regulations what is required to obtain approved load securing. Also note that if the load changes between means of transportation before arrival (boat, train, road), it must be taken into account that all different requirements are met, this applies both on the trailer and in e.g a container.
The load securing device must (during road transport) be able to withstand:
- 0,8 x the load weight forward and
- 0,5 x the load weight in the lateral direction and
- 0,5 x the load weight against the direction of travel and
- If there is a risk of tipping over
CERTEX Danmark's POWERTEX lashings with a lashing capacity of 400 kg and up are manufactured and marked to be able to be used in accordance with the above requirements.
