Advantages of Webbing Lashing Systems
- All lashings are individually and uniquely numbered for traceability and safety.
- High Tenacity Polyester webbing has a high resistance to abrasion – much higher than its polypropylene / Nylon equivalent.
- Webbing does not weaken with age.
- Ability to absorb shocks.
- No hidden corrosion – can be easily checked by eye for damage.
- Less risk of damage to the load or to painted/Coated surfaces.
- Supple – can adapt to fit the load easily thereby reducing the chances of damage.
- Easy and quick to use, saving time and thus saving costs.
Care and Use of Webbing Lashings:
- Only use webbing lashings manufactured to EN 12195-2:2001
- Only use lashings which are clearly marked with a rated assembly strength and minimum break strength.
- Regularly check the system for cuts and frays in the webbing.
- Never use a bar or lever to tighten the ratchet tensioner.
- Protect the system from sharp edges.
- Keep away from alkalis and strong acids.
- Do not use for lifting.
- Do not tie knots in the webbing to shorten it.
- When the tensioner is a ratchet, ensure that there have been at least 2 complete turns of the spreader bars after threading.
