Lashing angle ~90°
Lashing angle ~35°
At 35°, the effective downward force is
only 50% of the applied stress.
Angles below 35° are not effective for
lashing.
Lashing angle ~35°
A protractor (miter) is used, as illus-
trated, to determine the optimal angle.
The downward force decreases in direct
proportion to the angle.

7.2.1.2. Using the Lashing System
When attaching the lashing systems, try
to apply the highest possible tension
force. The higher the tensile strength,
the less lashing systems will be needed.
Always use at least two las-
hing systems. This will ensure
that the load is secured more
evenly.
For chain selection, see the
values on the plates.

for connecting equipment.
Make sure that you make a proper load
distribution in accordance with all laws,
rules and regulations.
In the loading process, consider the
loading limits, the total weight and the
load capacities of the axles.
Make sure that you load in accordance
with the rules and laws of all countries
where you will use the vehicle. Loading
diagrams vary according to vehicle type
and customer demands. You can re-
quest the loading diagram suitable for
your own vehicle from our company.
The axle loads* of the tractor/semi-trailer
combination can vary over a wide range
depending on the different loading condi-
tions. Observe the permissible axle
loads specified in the user manual or the
axle manufacturer's manual.
