Order round locking beams & loading beams for load securing
Drivers and road traffic are extremely at risk if loads suddenly slip. The German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) therefore require loads to be stowed and secured in such a way that the load cannot slip even in the event of sudden emergency braking or swerving. The driver as well as the owner and loader are responsible for ensuring that the load is properly secured.
With Sandax loading beams, round locking beams and locking bars you not only minimise the risk of accidents, but also avoid expensive fines and damage to your load.
Loading beams in use
Sandax aluminium loading beams are used to secure loads to the rear and to create a second loading level. They are made of high-strength aluminium and have two steel end pieces for attaching to an anchor combination lashing rail. The blocking force / load-bearing capacity is approx. 1000daN with uniform area utilisation.
Our round blocking beams are suitable for different types of vehicles as they are very easy to adjust in length. With the help of a dowel pin, the round barrier beam is very easy to adapt to different interior spaces. The round barrier beams are available with different pins, and as an aluminium or steel version

Buy round locking beams and loading beams
Round locking beams and loading beams are crucial tools in load securing, specially designed to stabilise and secure goods during transport in vehicles such as trucks, trailers and vans. These aids prevent the load from shifting, which not only increases safety on the roads, but also minimises damage to the cargo.- Circular barrier beams: These are typically cylindrical and can be easily adapted to the width of
different cargo holds. They are ideal for use in lorries and large transport vehicles where heavy and large
loads need to be secured.
- Loading beams: Often rectangular in shape, these beams are used to secure and also create second
loading levels, effectively improving space utilisation in transport vehicles.
- Aluminium and steel: Most round locking beams and loading beams are made of these materials, with
aluminium being particularly popular due to its lightness and corrosion resistance. Steel is valued for its
robustness and load-bearing capacity, especially with heavy loads.
- Adjustability: Many models are adjustable and allow flexible adaptation to different vehicle sizes
and load volumes. This increases their applicability and efficiency in different transport contexts.
- Freight forwarding and logistics: In professional freight transport, these beams are essential
for
keeping loads secure during the journey.
- Private use: They also offer efficient solutions for securing loads in the private sector, such
as
when moving house or transporting sports equipment.
- Special transport: For special transport tasks, such as sensitive or unusually shaped goods,
specially manufactured locking beams and loading beams offer secure fastening options.
Areas of application and advantages of round barrier beams and loading beamsRound barrier beams
- Transport: These beams are used in trucks, vans and trailers to stabilise and secure loads during
transport. They prevent goods from shifting, which is particularly important on long journeys or on uneven
roads.
- Industry and trade: In industry, they are used to secure heavy and bulky goods such as machines or
large appliances. In the commercial sector, they protect sensitive goods from damage during transport.
- Private use: They also offer an effective way of transporting loads safely in your own vehicle in the
private sector, such as when moving house or transporting leisure equipment.
- Safety: The main function of the round locking beams and loading beams is to secure the load, which
increases safety on the roads and minimises damage to the load.
- Adaptability: Their adjustable nature means they can be easily adapted to different load compartment
sizes and load types, making them particularly practical.
- Cost savings: By preventing cargo damage, these beams help to avoid potential costs for repairs or
replacement of damaged goods.
- Simplicity and efficiency: Their ease of installation and handling saves time and labour when
preparing shipments.
Technical specifications
- Length: Round locking beams and load beams are typically adjustable, allowing them to be adapted to
the width of the load compartment. Lengths vary to cover a wide range of vehicle sizes, from small vans to
large freight lorries.
- Load capacity: The load capacity indicates how much weight the beam can safely support. This is
particularly important when securing heavy loads to ensure that the beam does not give way under
pressure.
- Material thickness: The thickness and material of the beam affects its resistance to bending and
breaking. Aluminium beams provide lightness, while steel beams provide extra strength for heavier
loads.
Adjustability
- Adjustment mechanisms: Many barrier beams have quick and easy adjustment mechanisms, such as telescopic bars or sliding elements, which allow the length to be quickly adjusted without the need for tools.
- End fixings: The end fittings of the beams are crucial to their functionality. Some models offer
universal or customised ends that snap into existing lashing rails or anchorage points in the vehicle.
Installation recommendations
- Mounting position: The optimum positioning of the beams depends on the type of vehicle and the load.
They should be positioned so that they effectively support the load and distribute the load evenly when the
vehicle moves.
- Safety checks: Once installed, it is important to carry out regular checks to ensure that the beams
are firmly in place and show no signs of wear.
Buying advice for round barrier beams and
- Load type and weight: Consider the type of load you need to secure. Heavy or unusually shaped items
will require more robust and possibly customised solutions.
- Vehicle type: Make sure that the beams are suitable for the specific vehicle type and load
compartment size. This includes the length of the beams and their compatibility with existing fastening
systems such as airline rails.
- Aluminium vs. steel: Choose aluminium for lighter loads and for situations where flexibility and
corrosion resistance are important. Steel is the better choice for heavier loads as it offers greater
strength and resilience.
- Adjustable length: Look for beams with an adjustable length to ensure greater versatility in application and adaptation to different cargo spaces.
- Compatibility with lashing systems: Make sure the beams are compatible with your vehicle's lashing
systems, especially if you already have certain systems such as airline rails.
- Build quality: Look for high-quality workmanship that promises a long service life and reliability
under various transport conditions.
- Manufacturer's warranty: A good indicator of the quality of a barrier beam is often the warranty
offered by the manufacturer.
- Cost: Compare the prices of different models and brands. Bear in mind that a higher price often
reflects better quality and additional features, which can be a worthwhile investment.
