Releasing the lashing: Care should be taken to ensure that the stability of the load is independent of the lashing
equipment and that the release of the lashing shall not cause the load to fall. If necessary attach lifting equipment
to the load before releasing the tensioning device in order to prevent accidental falling and/or tilting of the load.
This applies as well when using tensioning devices which allow controlled removal.
•
Before attempting to unload, the lashings must be released to such an extent that the load is free.
•
During loading and unloading, pay attention to any overhead lines.
•
The materials from which lashing straps are made have different levels of resistance to chemical attack. Seek the
advice of the manufacturer or the supplier if the lashing straps are likely to be exposed to chemicals. It should be
noted that the effects of chemical may increase with rising temperatures. The resistance of synthetic fibers to
chemicals is summarized below:
a) Polyamides (PA) are resistant to alkalis. However, they are attacked by mineral acids.
b) Polyester (PES) is resistant to mineral acids but is attacked by alkalis.
c) Polypropylene (PP) is little affected by acids and alkalis and is suitable for applications where high resistance to
chemicals (except some organic solvents) is required.
d) Acid or alkali solutions which are harmless may become suffiicently concentrated by evaporation to cause
damage. Contaminated lashing straps must be taken out of service immediately, thoroughly rinsed with cold
water and air dried.
•
Lashing straps compling with this part of EN 12195 are suitable for use in the following temperature ranges:
a) –40°C to +80°C for Polypropylene (PP)
b) –40°C to +100°C for Polyamide (PA)
c) –40°C to +120°C for Polyester (PES)
These temperature ranges may vary in a chemical environment. In this case, the advice of the manufacturer or
supplier must be obtained. Changes in the environmental temperature during transport may affect the forces in the
lashing. Check the tension force after entering warm regions.
•
Lashing straps must be removed from service or returned to the manufacturer for repair if they show signs of
damage. The following points should be considered signs of damage:
For web lashings (removed from service): tears, cuts, nicks and breaks in load bearing fibres and retaining
-
stitches; deformations resulting from exposure to heat;
For end fittings and tensioning devices: deformations, splits, pronounced signs of wear, signs of corrosion;
-
Only lashing straps bearing identification labels shall be used;
-
If there is any accidental contact with a chemical product, the web lashing shall be removed from service and
-
the manufacturer or supplier shall be consulted.
•
Care MUST be taken that the web lashing is not damaged by the sharp edges of the load on which it is used. A
visual inspection before and after each use is recommended.
•
Only legibly marked lashing straps with labels should be used.
•
Lashing straps shall not be overloaded: the maximum hand force (HF, as shown on the label: 1 daN ≈ 1 kg) may only
be applied. No mechanical aids such as bars or levers may be used unless they are part of the tensioning device.
•
Knotted lashing straps must not be used.
•
Damage to labels shall be prevented by keeping them away from sharp edges of the load and, if possible, from the
load.
•
The belt straps shall be protected against friction, abrasion and damage caused by loads with sharp edges by using
protective sleeves and/or corner protectors.
