Use chains to lash coils that are at risk
of tipping and coils with an external dia-
meter 2.1m or greater
NOTE
Material damage due to overloaded
chains!
When lashing down coils with a large dia-
meter, there is a higher load on the lash-
ing chain that is wrapped twice around the
upper half of the coil. If overloaded, the
chain may break resulting in accidents
with material damage.
► Use lashing chains with a sufficient
load capacity.
► Avoid using chains that are too weak
and break.

1 Lashing down the coil transversely
2 Spacer
3 Chain wrapped twice around the coil
4 Coil
5 Chain lashed diagonally
► To protect the load, position a suitable
underlay material under the chain.
► Lash down the coil across the direction
of travel.
► Guide a chain through the opening of
the coil. Select a highly resilient chain.
► Pass the chain around the upper coil
half twice.
► Hook the chains to each other.
► Guide the chains through the doubled
chains on the rear of the coil and then
tension the chains accordingly.
► Lash down the chain to the lashing
eyelets diagonally.
ü The coil is lashed down with chains.
Lashing down coils with tension straps
Lashing down the coils with tension straps
is done in the same way as lashing down
with chains.
8.12.3 Vario Coil system
WARNING
Serious injuries caused by slipping of
the load!
The load is not fully secured with the Vario
Coil system.
► Other suitable measures for load se-
curing are absolutely essential.
