Lashing chains in accordance with EN 12195-3 are perfect for diagonal lashing of heavy loads. With shortening elements, the desired length can be set. The shortening unit must have a lock against accidental opening. Lashing chains in the modular system are manufactured in quality 8 in accordance with EN 12195-3 (minimum break stress 800 N/mm2). They have a minimum breaking strain of 20%, ensure longevity and are designed for top performance despite lightweight production. Lashing chains are especially suitable for very heavy loads, in particular on flat bed trailers and for the lashing types of diagonal and cross lashing. If the lashing chains are placed over the load during frictional lashing, edge protection elements must be used to prevent the load from being damaged by the chains and so that the chain elements can slide over the edges. If the edge is made so that the chain cannot slide over it, direct lashing should be preferred. With load chain tensioners and ratchet load tensioner jacks, highly stable chains of quality 8 or 10 can be operated perfectly well
