Lashing points and carrier systems

Lashing points
CAUTION
!
Observe the data on the maximum
load-bearing capacity of the individual
lashing points.
During full-braking applications, for ex-
ample, forces can be involved that are
much greater than the weight force of
the load.
Always use several lashing points in or-
der to distribute force absorption, and
make sure that the lashing points have
an equal load.
You will find further information on the
lashing eyes in the "Operation" section
( page 158).
Lashing eyes
The maximum tensile load of the lashing
eyes is:
Lashing eyes Permissible nom-
inal tensile force
Crewbus 3500 N
Panel van 5000 N
Load rails*
The maximum tensile load of the lashing
points in the load compartment is:
Lashing point Permissible nom-
inal tensile force
Load rails in the 5000 N
load compartment
floor
Lower load rail on 2500 N
the side wall

the side wall
Lashing points and carrier systems
The specified values only apply to loads on
the load compartment floor if:
the load is secured to 2 lashing points
on the rail and
the distance to the next lashing point
used on the same rail is about 3 ft
(1 m).
