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
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.

Q
CAUTION! Check before releasing the strap that the load is stable. Make sure that
the load is stable even without the lashing strap and that it cannot fall down.
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY! Make sure that nobody is near the load when you
release the lashing strap. Falling parts could cause injuries.
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY! When opening the lashing equipment, the preload
force is released at a stroke. That is why you should open the lashing strap with the utmost
caution.
