Proper usage of lashing chains is crucial to ensure load security and prevent accidents or damage. It is important to select the appropriate lashing chain based on the load requirements and working load limits. Following proper tensioning and securing techniques is vital to maintain load stability. Regular inspection and maintenance of lashing chains are necessary to identify any signs of wear, damage, or degradation that may affect their performance. Adhering to industry standards and regulations is essential to ensure compliance and enhance overall safety.

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.

The process of using lashing chains involves several steps. Firstly, assess the load size, weight, and type to determine the appropriate lashing chain and configuration required. Position the load on the transport vehicle or vessel, ensuring it is centered and balanced. Attach the lashing chains to the load and anchor points, such as D-rings or lashing rings, using appropriate hooks or connectors. Gradually tension the chains, applying force evenly to secure the load. Double-check the tension and connections to ensure proper load restraint. Finally, regularly monitor the load and lashing chains during transportation, making adjustments if necessary to maintain load stability.

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.
