Loading capacity of the lashing points and tie-down eyes

NOTE Risk of accident if the maximum loading capacity of the lashing points is exceeded

During maximum full-stop braking, for example, forces act which can multiply the weight of the load.

If various lashing points are combined to secure a load, always take the maximum loading capacity of the weakest lashing point into account.

Always use several lashing points to distribute and spread the load. Distribute the load on the lashing points evenly.

Nominal tensile force is the maximum permissible tensile load.

Further information on the lashing points and tie-down eyes can be obtained in the "Transporting" section More.

Tie-down eyes

Nominal tensile load of tie-down eyes
Tie-down eyes	Nominal tensile load
Crewbus	350 daN
Panel Van	800 daN
Platform up to 3.5 t permissible gross mass	400 daN
Platform over 3.5 t permissible gross mass	800 daN

Loading rails

Nominal tensile load of lashing points in the load compartment
Lashing point	Nominal tensile load
Loading rails on load compartment floor	500 daN
Lower loading rail on side wall	200 daN
Upper loading rail on side wall	125 daN

The values specified apply only to loads resting on the load compartment floor under the following circumstances:

Conditions:

the load is secured to two lashing points on the rail
the distance to the nearest load-securing point on the same rail is approximately 1 m
