MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
RO/RO LASHING POINT
TWN 1480
1. DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The Ro/Ro lashing points 10000 daN in accordance with this THIELE factory standard
are intended for load securing, in particular as attachment points on lorries and
transport trailers for sea transport on Ro/Ro ships.
The lashing points mainly consist of a forged weld-on support and a forged D-ring.
Two springs are integrated to the weld-on support to provide position stabilization
and noise reduction when not in use.
The lashing points can
be loaded to 100 % in all
tensile directions.
The lashing points are marked with the lashing capacity LC in daN (Deka-Newton),
manufacturers mark and traceability code. (LC = Lashing Capacity)
The D-rings are blue powder coated, the weld-on support is not coated.
The lashing points feature a safety factor of at least 2 based on the lashing capacity.
Usage for lifting is not permissible!
The lashing points must exclusively be used
• within the limits of their permissible lashing capacity LC,
• within the temperature limits prescribed,
• with properly laid welding seams.
2. SAFETY NOTES
Make sure to use lashing means free from defects.
• Operators, fitters, and maintenance personnel must in particular observe these
instructions also from the used lashing chain assemblies, documentation DGUV V 1
issued by the German Employers' Liability Insurance Association, as well as the
operating instructions of the vehicle.
• Outside the Federal Republic of Germany the specific provisions issued locally in
the country where the items are used must also be observed.
• The directions given in these mounting instructions and specified documentations
relating to safety, assembly, operation, inspection, and maintenance must be made
available to the respective persons.
• Make sure these instructions are available in a place near the product during the
time the equipment is used.
• Please contact the manufacturer if replacements are needed. Also see Chapter 9.
• When performing work make sure to wear your personal protective equipment!
• Improper assembly and use may cause personal injury and/or damage to
property.
• Assembly and removal as well as inspection and maintenance must exclusively be
carried out by skilled and authorized persons.
• Structural changes are impermissible (e.g. welding, bending).
• Visually inspect the equipment prior to each use.
• Never put to use worn-out, bent or damaged lashing points.
• Only lashing loads the mass of which is less than or equal to the capacity of the
lashing points.
• Do not use force when mounting/positioning the lashing points.
• Do not bend the D-ring.
• Only remove lashing means manually (use your hands).
• In the event of doubts about the use, inspection, maintenance or similar things
contact your safety officer or the manufacturer.
• Transportation of persons is forbidden.
THIELE will not be responsible for damage caused through non-observance of

5. MOUNTING
5.1 Preparations
Make sure the welding surfaces are grinded down, flat, dry, free of impurity, flawless
and weldable (material see ISO/TR 15608 table 1, group 1).
Make sure the mounting place is able to absorb the specified lashing capacity
multiplied with a safety factor of 1,25 without safety reducing deformation.
Make sure there is a sufficiently large area for welding around the weld-on supports.
5.2 Requirements
The mounting location for each lashing point has to ensure that
• no areas of danger are created (crushing point, shearing point),
• transportation is not restrained by overhang,
• used lashing means (e.g. hooks) are freely movable and will not be bended,
• lashing accessories will not be bypassed,
• incorrect use is avoided,
• lashing points cannot be damaged,
• they can be reached easily and without obstruction for attaching and detaching the
lashing means.
