Attaching the lashing strap
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.
