Create Lashing Chain | Lashing Chain Company

The primary function of lashing chains is to secure and restrain loads during transportation. They are commonly used in the shipping, logistics, and transport industries to prevent cargo movement, shifting, or falling off vehicles or vessels. Lashing chains enable users to create strong and reliable connections between the load and the anchoring points on trucks, trailers, or ships. They maintain the load's stability, ensuring safe and efficient transportation.

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.
