What are lashing chains?
Lashing chains are specially developed securing systems made from high-strength steel. They are used to secure heavy loads during transport and prevent cargo from slipping. Thanks to their extremely robust design, lashing chains are ideal for use in heavy-duty transport, where conventional lashing straps reach their limits.
Lashing chains consist of a chain and a ratchet load binder, which ensures that the chain is tightened firmly around the load. This combination provides high tensioning force and ensures safe securing even under particularly demanding conditions.
Applications of Lashing Chains
Lashing chains are used in many industries:
Transport and logistics: Here, lashing chains are used to secure heavy machinery, steel parts or bulky goods on trucks and in containers.
Construction industry: On construction sites, lashing chains are used to secure construction machinery and materials such as steel beams or precast concrete elements.
Industry: Here, lashing chains are used to secure heavy equipment and machinery during transport or assembly.

1-Piece vs. 2-Piece Lashing Chain System
There are two main types of lashing chain systems: 1-piece and 2-piece systems.
1-Piece Lashing Chain System
In a 1-piece lashing chain system, the chain and tensioning element are permanently connected. This has the advantage that no individual parts can be lost. The chain length is adjusted only on one side of the tensioner, which makes handling easier, especially for standardised transport tasks.
Thanks to their extremely robust construction made of high-quality steel, lashing chains can secure even the heaviest loads. A lashing chain withstands high tensioning forces and guarantees maximum safety.
2-Piece Lashing Chain System
The 2-piece lashing chain system is more flexible, as the chain and ratchet load binder are used separately. This allows the chain to be attached at different points and the lashing force to be adjusted individually. Especially for varying loads or more sensitive goods, this lashing chain system offers significant advantages, as it enables more precise tensioning.
Advantages of Lashing Chains
Choosing lashing chains offers numerous advantages, especially compared to conventional lashing straps.
High Load Capacity
Thanks to their extremely robust construction made of high-quality steel, lashing chains can secure even the heaviest loads. A lashing chain withstands high tensioning forces and guarantees maximum safety.
Durability
Lashing chains are made of corrosion-resistant materials that are both weather-resistant and wear-resistant. This makes a lashing chain the ideal solution for long-term use under difficult conditions, such as on construction sites or in industrial environments.
Easy Handling
Despite their robustness, lashing chains are easy to use. They can be attached and tensioned quickly, saving both time and effort – making them highly advantageous for time-critical projects or demanding everyday work.
Maximum Safety
Lashing chains offer the highest level of safety, as they secure the load firmly and reliably. This not only prevents damage to the cargo, but also protects the driver and other road users from potential hazards caused by shifting loads.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lashing Chains
1. What is the difference between lashing chains and lashing straps?
Lashing chains are made of steel and offer a significantly higher load capacity than lashing straps, which are made of textile materials. Lashing chains are generally used for heavier and more demanding loads.
2. When should I use a 2-piece lashing chain system?
A 2-piece lashing chain system offers greater flexibility when positioning the tensioner and allows the lashing force to be adjusted more individually. It is particularly suitable if you regularly need to secure loads with different shapes or sensitive surfaces.
3. How do I maintain my lashing chains?
To maximise the service life of your lashing chains, you should regularly check them for wear or corrosion. Clean the lashing chain after use in wet or dirty conditions and ensure that your lashing chains are stored in a dry place.
4. Can lashing chains also be used for sensitive loads?
Yes, especially 2-piece lashing chains allow the lashing force to be adjusted precisely thanks to the flexible positioning of the tensioner, helping to protect sensitive loads.
