Lashing chains in the modular system are manufactured in quality 8 in accordance with DIN 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.
