The role of lashing straps in car transport securingLashing straps
are an essential element in the logistics and transport of cars. They are used to securely fasten the
vehicles to the trailer or van by stretching them over or around the vehicles. These straps are designed to
withstand a high tensile force, which is essential for safety during transport. The use of lashing straps is
instrumental in preventing movement of vehicles during transport. They protect the vehicles from damage
caused by slipping or impact, thus helping to prevent accidents and damage. Correct stowing and securing with
lashing straps is therefore a critical aspect that must be taken into account every time cars are
transported on trailers and vans.
Selection criteria and purchasing advice: Tensioning straps for car transportWhen
selecting the right tensioning straps for securing cars on means of transport, various criteria should be
taken into account to ensure optimum safety and functionality. Firstly, it is important to select the
correct strap length and width according to the size and weight of the vehicle.
Material and workmanship also play a decisive role. High-quality materials such as hard-wearing
polyester ensure durability and reliability. Standards such as DIN EN 12195-2 are an indicator of
compliance with safety standards.
Additional features, such as protective rubber coatings on hooks and ratchets, help to protect the vehicle.
Choosing the right colour can also help to easily identify the
straps
on a busy van or trailer.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them when using lashing straps
When using lashing straps to secure cars on trailers and vans, it is easy to make mistakes that compromise
safety. One common mistake is insufficient tensioning of the straps. Straps that are too loose can cause the
vehicle to move and possibly be damaged. Belts that are too tight, on the other hand, can cause damage to the
vehicle or the belt itself.
Another mistake is incorrect positioning of the belts. They should be positioned in such a way that they
effectively secure the vehicle without damaging sensitive parts such as the bodywork or paintwork. It
is also important to check the straps regularly for wear and damage and to replace them if
necessary.
Following this advice can help to avoid common mistakes when using tensioning straps and thus increase safety
when transporting cars.
Use and correct attachment of tensioning straps for cars
The correct use of tensioning straps is crucial for safety when transporting cars. Incorrect use can
lead to serious damage to the vehicle or dangerous situations on the road. It is therefore important to
follow a few basic steps when attaching the straps.
Firstly, check that the straps are not damaged, such as torn or worn. The straps should then be placed
around the parts of the vehicle to be secured, such as the wheels. Make sure that they do not run over sharp
edges that could damage the material.
When tightening the straps, make sure that they are taut but not excessively so. Excessive tension
can damage the vehicle or overload the straps. The ratchet should be securely locked to prevent
loosening while driving.
It is also important that the straps are fitted so that they secure the vehicle evenly and the load
is distributed across all straps. This prevents the vehicle from shifting or tipping over during transport.
The positioning of the straps should be chosen so that they effectively secure the vehicle without
damaging sensitive parts such as the bodywork or paintwork.
