Overview of lashing points
Lashing points (example: panel van without loading rails)
Lashing points (example: platform vehicle)
Lashing points (example: platform vehicle)
Once you have removed the platform dropsides, you can use the lashing points on the bottom left and right of the crossmember.
Secure loose loads, in particular on the load surface of a platform vehicle, with an approved lashing net or tarpaulin.
Always fasten the lashing net or tarpaulin to all available lashing points. Make sure that the fastening hooks are secured against accidental opening.
If your vehicle is equipped with loading rails in the load compartment floor, you can place lashing rods directly in front of and behind the load. The lashing rods directly absorb the potential shifting forces.
Securing loads on the load compartment floor by lashing them down is only recommended for lightweight loads. Lay anti-slip mats under the load to assist in securing it.
