Lashing points and carrier systems

Technical data
! Observe the data on the maximum load-
bearing capacity of the individual lashing points.
During full-braking applications, for example,
forces can be involved that are much greater
than the weight force of the load.
Always use several lashing points in order
to distribute force absorption, and make
sure that the lashing points have an equal
load.
You will find further information on the
lashing eyes in the "Controls in detail" sec-
tion (
e page 137).
Lashing eyes
The maximum tensile load of the lashing
eyes is:
Load rails
The maximum tensile load of the lashing
points in the load compartment is:
The specified values only apply to loads on
the load compartment floor if:
O the load is secured to 2 lashing points
on the rail and
O the distance to the next lashing point
used on the same rail is about 3 ft
(1 m).
