Lashing Chains: The Industry Standard for Load Securing

Lashing chains find application in various fields that involve transporting or securing loads. They are widely used in the shipping and maritime industry for containerized cargo on vessels. Lashing chains are also valuable in the logistics sector for securing pallets, crates, or other types of packaged goods on trucks or trailers. They are employed in the construction industry to secure heavy equipment or building materials during transportation. Additionally, lashing chains are used in the automotive industry to secure vehicles on car carriers.

Lashing chains provide a range of benefits when it comes to securing and restraining loads. They offer exceptional strength and durability, ensuring that cargo remains safely in place during transportation. Lashing chains are resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and weathering, making them suitable for various environments. They allow for easy adjustment and tensioning, accommodating different load sizes and shapes. Additionally, lashing chains distribute the load's weight evenly, minimizing stress on specific points and reducing the risk of damage or load shifting.

There are different types of lashing chains available, designed to suit specific load requirements. Grade 70 chains are commonly used for general load securing applications, providing high tensile strength and resistance to wear and tear. Grade 80 chains offer even greater strength and are suitable for heavy-duty applications. Grade 100 chains are the strongest, ideal for extremely heavy loads or specialized lifting and rigging operations. The choice of lashing chain type depends on factors such as load weight, working conditions, and regulations.

Lashing chains are made by using full automatic chain making machines. The result is a very clean weld for chain links. The more expensive 20Mn2 steel is used as raw material. In combination with the in-house heat treatment a stable quality is guaranteed. It also makes sure that the durable Assembled lashing chains reach the required minimum breaking strengths.
